Hello and thank you for your question.
Crystal meth is a dangerous stimulant drug. It can cause muscle breakdown resulting in muscle and joint pain and in severe cases this muscle breakdown can cause kidney failure and death. There is no drug that you can take that is more dangerous than this so please try not to use it again. Drink lots of water, take some vitamin C and a multivitamin and see a doctor to have your kidney function checked right away
I hope you recover soon and never use meth again
