Swelling And Numbness In Arms Post Injecting Meth, Similar Feelings In Leg With Patchy Rash. Cause?
Hi I shot meth in my right forearm vein , but may have stricken the wall. It s been a good 12 hours now, and my hands have swollen and started to lose feeling. The same with my whole lower leg past the knee , and this may be relevant to the situation as well. I have what seems to be a rash in the affected areas that seems to be patchy. sometimes red, but very faded to the naked eye.

From the description given, I feel that you need to see a doctor.
There could have been infection of your arm or may be injury to blood vessels/nerves and hence you are not able to feel the sensation. If there is infection, you would need antibiotics. If you are unable to feel the sensation, you may need to be seen sooner rather than later.
