Effect's Due To Drug Use...??

Ok, my question has to do with drug injection... this is to whom ever it may concern, I would like to ask that the interests of this question are focused on the importance of the question it self,and not the nature or personal aspects.
With that said, this is my question. after injjecting meth-amphetimines,and imspecting for a "miss" and finding no evidince that had happened... What would cause the bicept mussle to go numb,not the skin an hour or so later? Then move from there up to the shoulder,then your side moveing to that one side of your chest and up your neck stopping right at the beggining of your chin?? now keep in mind that the skin isent numb just the mussle under it, fisrt thing that came to mind was a heart attack of some sort. but only being 21,thats all that would come to mind when the whole left side tingles and goes numb.. not being likely due to to the age and time period that had passed, all that could be done was to ride it out as long as possable, after about 30mins give or take, the feeling started coming back where it first started going numb,If anybody has experinced this or knows anything about it,please I would like to know what happend,and more importantly what damage it may of caused and/or if that was the end of it, could it of been somesort of attack and that was only the beginning??? please, even if you dont know exactlly what took place or what it was, let me know your thoughts (if any) you have reguarding this question..                                                                      Thank-You, The Guy

Last time I was at the dentist he hit a nerve when injecting the novacane. The left side of my face went numb for a week.

tell the doc. u can't be arrested, would violate patient rights to call police. just don't call an ambulance unless u havta. Police may come depending on your location. even if they did, unlikely u'd b arrested.
