Hello,
If you have been using crystal meth for 13 years then you certainly could have damaged your liver or kidneys and this can cause the swelling you describe. Please see a doctor as soon as possible for exam and blood tests. It is also possible that you have a blood clot in the left leg. Go to emergency if you can not see your doctor today.
