Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Excessive use of mephadrone can cause a vasoconstriction in the limb vessels thus causing an edema due to decreased blood supply. You need to keep your foot warm, try to walk and jump to restore the circulation in the area.
The swelling usually subsides in 8-10 hours. In case the swelling is persistent then you need to be evaluated by your physician to rule out other associated pathologies.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
