No they are not very painful. Depends upon how the phlebotomist is administering it to you.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a HBsAg Test (Hepatitis B surface antigen) Test or Take a Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I consulted a doctor because I was having balance problems and vertigo, and I was told I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. My test result showed a level of 193. The doctor prescribed Neurobion Forte, Monobe (thiamine), and a multivitamin. I have been taking these medicines for the past 22 days. Although my symptoms have improved, I still have some problems. How long will it take to fully recover?

Hi, my blood report shows predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes, anisocytosis. Could you please let me know what does this mean? Thank you in advance.
