What Causes Burning Sensation And Swelling On The Hand After Taking Methamphetamine Shot?

I did a shot of meth in my hand. I don t think I missed, because there was no burning sensation. but I got excessive swelling at the injection site and blotchy, red, swollen areas around the access point..Now the day after my fingers are numb where i did the shot. My question to you is did I cause any serious damage. Should i be concerned. Thanks.

Thanks for this query. You injected subcutaneously. Thats why it is causing radness and irritation at the site.
I will suggest you to apply ice, and hyaluronidase ointment.
It will take minimum one week for complete recovery.
Hope my answer helped you.
