Hello,

If someone is using meth then they are likely injecting it. What this means is that they will look for veins around their body that are good for injecting.

Just like a nurse when she draws blood and misses a vein, the same is with meth addicts.

Missing veins means that holes get poked in them and that there can be bleeding, or bruising.

Meth will also increase blood pressure that in the long term could damage the kidneys. I'm not aware that meth usage causes back pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Daniel Richard Paull, Orthopaedic Surgeon
