I'm dealing with a pretty low vitamin B12 level, around 72Pgml, and I've been having some back and shoulder pains. Sometimes I even feel a bit dizzy. Could this be linked to the low B12? What can I do to get it back to normal?

To address a low vitamin B12 level of 72 pgmL, consider the following steps: consult your doctor about starting vitamin B12 supplements, either orally or through injections, aiming for a daily dose of 2.4-2.6 mcg; increase dietary intake of B12-rich foods, such as fish, meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products, and fortified plant-based milk; and address potential underlying causes of deficiency, such as gastrointestinal disorders or medication interactions; regarding symptoms, yes, low B12 levels can cause back and shoulder pain, dizziness, fatigue, and numbness or tingling sensations, so correcting the deficiency may help alleviate these symptoms.

The best treatment for removing stones from the liver, specifically the gallbladder, usually involves surgery. There are two main types of surgery: *Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy* and *Open Cholecystectomy* . - *Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy*: This is a minimally invasive procedure where a surgeon uses a laparoscope to remove the gallbladder. This method is usually performed on an outpatient basis, and you can return to normal physical activity within a week . - *Open Cholecystectomy*: This traditional method involves making a larger incision in the abdomen to remove the gallbladder. This approach is typically used for more complex cases or when the gallbladder is severely inflamed . It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition. They may also recommend other treatments, such as medications to dissolve the stones, but surgery is often the most effective solution .
