What Causes Numbness In Arm After Taking Methamphetamine Shot?

I shot up methamphetamine into my arm and all seemed fine a went smooth but when i was done the whole inside of my arm went numb from my wrist up to my muscle right above where i shot the meth and i didnt feel the rush the high came on slow. Did i hit a nerve? I dont think i missed any i was very careful to keep making sure it was in my vein.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It is unlikely to be related to methamphetamine. Anxiety or panic attack is a possibility. Conditions like peripheral neuropathy must be excluded as well.

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
