I shot up meth and heroin in my ankle and had to push harder than usual for the blood to draw back, it kinda hurt how hard I was having to push on the vein, now it s so swollen u can t see my ankle and I can t walk or even hang my leg down. It s been about 5 days and it s so bad where I don t even have to use it, just here is excruciating pain making me cry, whats wrong? what should I do?

Hello,
It is unrelated to methamphetamine. Consult a physician and get evaluated. Possible causes like renal dysfunction and hypoalbuminemia must be ruled out. An ultrasound scan is required in case of diagnostic confusion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
