What Causes Numbness In Legs And Ankles After Taking I/v Drug?

for the last two days i have used methanphetamine intravenously and now my legs and ankels feel numb and appear to be slightly swollen and my stomach feels swollen too. I use drugs intravenously about 3-4 times per year and i have never seen this happen to me before.

One of the concerns with IV drug use is the possibility of infection, and if you are continuing to have swelling -- I would get further testing with your doctor to rule out infection.
