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.

View allMy Vitamin B12 is 163, which is below the normal range. I am experiencing tingling, numbness, weakness, shortness of breath, fatigue, tiredness, and body pain. I have taken Vitcofol 6, 2 ml injections over the last 10 days. My questions are: Which tests can I do to check iron levels, as I suspect low iron may be causing low hemoglobin? How can I alleviate these symptoms, and how many more B12 injections might I need, considering I am on PPI for GERD, which caused these issues? I may need to continue PPI for a few more months as GERD is almost resolved. I would also like tips to increase my hemoglobin and RBC levels.

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.
