Hi
Thanks for posting your query.

I appreciate your concern for the swollen bruise.
Since you had recently injected Meth in the vein of the left arm, so the swollen bruise appears to be an "injection abscess" that has developed due to infection while taking Meth in the left arm's vein.

You are advised to visit a doctor/surgeon for proper evaluation and may be you need an incision and drainage of the abscess.

Hope this answers your query.
