A member asked:

So i decided to try methamphetamine on the 7th of this month and have been since that being the first time i ever tried it and ever since ive been having spasms in my upper back and my upper back has been almost completely numb?

Don't make anymore bad choices. I can't connect these symptoms to taking that meth. Numbness is usually a sign of nerve irritation or damage. Multiple sclerosis can also cause it. A neurologist or orthopedic specialist would be best to evaluate & advise you. Any appropriate testing will be ordered.
