What Causes Joint Pain And Weakness In Hands After Meth Use?
I am a 22 year old female. I used 2 use meth for about a year and i got clean. Was clean for 3 years up until 2 and a half months ago. I just recently got clean and had 2 weeks clean time but relapsed last night. I noticed that recently in the last few months that i did it, i got bad joint pain in both hands. My hands feel/felt so week at times i couldnt even hold the lighter down to light my ciagrette. it felt like a huge weight on my hands. Is this normal? what causes this? what does it mean?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern if you where taking some narcotic drugs then this could be a withdrawal syndrome of that drug in my opinion it is better to see the de-addiction center for better management, the symptom that you have mentioned here is not normal and it has to be taken seriously and need to see the de-addiction center, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
