A B12 level of 102 pg/ml is definitely low. Start Methylcobalamin supplements (like 1500 mcg/day). Also include foods like eggs, dairy, and fortified cereals. If severe, a B12 injection (1000 mcg IM weekly) may be advised by your physician.

I have had full body pain for the last six months and now it continues throughout the day especially in the heel and bottom. I have taken two blood reports but the doctor only gives painkillers. Please suggest?
