I use to shoot up opiates such as oxycontin. About a month ago I nodded off after injecting myself and woke up to find my index fingertip numb, feeling has still not come back. Does anybody know why this happened, I think my heart might have stopped thus stopping circulation. I have since moved countries and have been clean for 2 weeks, can anybody help? Thank you

I think you damaged the finger somehow, sounds as if the nerve endings are damaged. Keep up the good work, you are doing great the last 2 weeks. This time you only damaged your finger, if it was your heart stopping, the next time you might not be so lucky.
