Both Vitamin B12 and D3 are low. These can cause fatigue, weakness, and neurological symptoms. Supplements (oral or injectable B12, and D3 weekly sachets or tablets) can help. Discuss dosage with your doctor.

Question

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.

Question

My blood report shows vitamin B12 level of 83 pg per ml and vitamin D level of 10.4 ng per ml. Doctor prescribed Rejunex injection for 7 days and I have completed 5 days. I still have walking imbalance. Please suggest how many days it will take for me to return to normal walking?

Question

Hi doctor, in March 2021 I fell on my knee while playing sports. I waited for 3 months and still had some pain, so I visited an orthopedic in June. Without any lab test for vitamin D, the orthopedic prescribed 60000 IU syrup per day for 11 continuous days. This led to a vitamin D level of 120 ng/ml. It has been 5 months and I still have several symptoms from July until now. I have a feeling of my head shaking, headaches, hand tremors, eye twitching, knee and muscle pains, chest tightness, difficulty in breathing, twitching like tremor all over the body, weakness, and very hot urine. My serum calcium level has been between 10.5 and 11 mg/dl for the past 5 months, now 11 mg/dl. Vitamin D now is 46 ng/ml. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is 75.67 pg/ml. Uric acid has been between 9.6 and 7 mg/dl, now 7 mg/dl. Creatinine is 0.9 mg/dl. Vitamin B12 is 196 pg/ml. Thyroid: T3 is 0.85 ng/ml, T4 is 6.88 ug/dl, TSH is 3.82 uIU/ml. Blood pH is 8.6. Magnesium is 1.6 mg/dl. What could be the cause of these ongoing symptoms and what should I do?
