My mother is suffering from nerve pain in her legs. Sometimes, swelling occurs in both feet. She has been taking medicines for a long time, but they only provide temporary relief. We had her blood reports checked, and everything, including RFT, is normal. Her legs get stiff at night with a lot of pain.

Nerve pain and night stiffness with swelling could be due to vitamin deficiencies, poor circulation, or early neuropathy. Since routine reports are normal, a nerve conduction study and vitamin B12 or D levels may help. Also ensure her salt intake and hydration are balanced.

What is the best way to increase red blood cells?

Question

Dear Dr, B12 deficiency has been reported in the blood report. Please guide me about substitute of Inj Mobyrin 1500 mg IM as the same is not available in the vicinity.

I am 25 years old and have been experiencing weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath, excessive sleep, and occasional hand shivering. I consulted a doctor who advised various tests, including an X ray, all of which came back normal. The doctor said I am okay and recommended focusing on diet and exercise, which I am already doing. Another doctor suggested testing my Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, and calcium levels. Although my mother received injections and has normal reports, my tests show a Vitamin B12 level of 182 (normal range 239 to 931) and Vitamin D (25hydroxy) level of 18.8 (normal range 20 to 100). Are these results normal? Please advise on what steps I should take.
