What Causes Palpitations And Burning Sensation In The Arm After A Methamphetamine Shot?
Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to a side effect of the injection. One of the possible side effects is an infection. I suggest you do a complete blood count to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
