General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Methamphetamine has many CNS side effects. Presently it looks like you have damaged a nerve. Take NSAIDs or Acetaminophen to reduce pain & inflammation.

Visit ER, get examined. You may need medical support. Presently keep your hand under rest. You can wear a brace if it gives you relief.

You are suggested to quit taking methamphetamine under a detox center.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
