You need to get to the hospital. I understand you probably don't want to go and you might have concerns because you are a meth user, but you need to get this looked at right away, and you have to tell the doctors that you have been injecting drugs so they know what to look for. It sounds like you have a very serious infection and a blood clot in your arm. This can be life threatening. There are no home remedies for this. Call for an ambulance if you need to, but please get this looked at right away. If there is an infection and it gets into your blood, or if a blood clot breaks loose, this could kill you. Don't be afraid about the drug use. The doctors will be concerned about your condition. Just get it looked at.
