What Causes Thigh Numbness After Six Shots Of Methamphetamine?
I have only used methamphetamine three times (no lie) over the last year and a half. In the most recent experience I injected. I got about 80% of the shot and the other last 20% missed my vein, there was a tiny lump for a few minutes. after the shot about 6 hours later I noticed the front of my thigh was numb, not painful, no swelling (that I can tell). I did this last night and it s still numb! I ve been on my feet for most of the day at work. Is this normal/ how long does the numbness stick around for? It hasn t been 24 hour yet and I slept about 4 hours last night.
You have injected In the nerve or may have caused neurological traumatic Injury to the nerve. You may need a neurologist review and nerve conduction study if the issue persists and it may heal spontaneously or may need surgical repair.
