What Causes Swelling In The Arm After Receiving Methamphetamine Through IV?
Friend of mine used meth intravenously, her arm and started to swell about 4 inches above and 4 inches below the elbow and it was started days later. Is this severe if it is the house of year due to her reluctance to go to the doctor which can be understood what is the level of danger
sometimes iv route causes vein to swell if not injected properly...it's better you apply thrombophleb ointment around the swelling...and do ice pack compression 3-4 times per day....I hope this resolved you're issue's
