Cannot say in your partiuclar case but there are many possible causes of tingling like this that would reqauire and be fixed by immediate medical attention in general. Tingling, shooting would often imply a nerve is involved. Furthermoremore, the ULNAR NERVE runs down the arm, over the elbow and into the hand. It sticks out and is often directly injured. Also, nerves can be injured severely by losing blood supply. Meth injection can directly hit a nerve. It can also cause loss of blood supply to the nerve due tot he constriction effects of methamphetamine (local gangrene). This is treatable if done immediately, or the nerve can die off.
