Hi, I am experiencing a burning and needle prick type sensation in my arms, legs, and buttocks. My recent blood tests show Vitamin D level: 19 and Vitamin B12 level: 810. Please advise the possible cause and next steps.

Burning and pinching in arms, legs, and buttocks is often due to nerve irritation or deficiency. Your Vitamin D is low (19), this can cause nerve pain and weakness. Vitamin B12 is good (810), so that is not the issue here. Start Vitamin D supplements and light sun exposure.

Three years ago, I underwent a biopsy, and the report showed Lichen Planus Pigmentosus. Since then, dark patches on my skin have been increasing gradually. I would like guidance on what I should do now.

I have pain in my hands and legs, but there is no swelling. My blood report, sugar, BP, and CBP are all normal. This has been happening for the last 15 days and it is not affecting my routine activities. What could be the cause?
