Yes, vitamin B12 deficiency is related to spinal cord issues which includes degeneration of the spinal cord which causes pain and immobility in patients. Not only this severe deficiency can lead to anemia and depression.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a BETA CROSSLAPS Test or Take a Rubella IgM Antibodies Test
