Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
The symptoms which you have described are quite concerning and are not normal. Meth is a dangerous drug and can result in a variety of serious side effects and so, your symptoms could be due to the side effects of meth. It is also possible that your symptoms could be due to a faulty injection technique where you could have missed the vein or the injection could have resulted in inflammation of the vein and the surrounding tissues.
Since your seem to be suffering from significant symptoms, I would suggest that you get yourself examined by a doctor at the earliest and take appropriate treatment. Also, remember, not to try such practices in the future as they are risky.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
