My wife has been experiencing burning sensations in her feet. On investigation, we found that her Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels are low. She is a pure vegetarian and does not consume eggs. Could these vitamin deficiencies be the cause of her problem? I am attaching the report for your review.

Burning feet can be due to low Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D. These deficiencies affect nerve health. Supplements are usually needed. Recheck levels after a few weeks.

Sir, I have been continuously suffering from pain in the back portion of my left foot. After consulting an orthopedic doctor, he suggested a blood test for uric acid and prescribed some medicines. However, after almost two months, I have not fully recovered. Now, my left hand forefingers have also started hurting. I also consulted a urologist, who said my uric acid levels are normal and advised me to get it checked by a neurologist. Kindly suggest the possible remedies for this problem.

Due to skin allergy and hair loss I consulted a skin doctor. My lab report shows vitamin B12 deficiency and very low ferritin levels, but the skin doctor did not give any treatment for that. Please help me and give suggestions as I am in urgent need?
