Question 1

My recent lab test report shows:
Vitamin B12: 174.6 pg/mL
Hydroxy Vitamin D3: 14.82 ng/mL
Could you please suggest what this means and what steps or supplements I should take to correct these levels?

Question 2

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.

Question 3

My wife, age 34, underwent pituitary tumor surgery 3 years ago. Her recent blood report shows Vitamin B12 is 927 pg/mL, hemoglobin is 10 g/dL, and PCV is 31 percent. She has been experiencing heavy gastric issues that do not subside even with medications like PPIs. Additionally, she has an enlarging fibroid. Her weight is 67 kg and blood pressure is 90/70 mmHg. Could you please advise how to reduce the heavy gas and manage her gastric discomfort effectively?

Why shouldn't you give folate in patients with a B12 deficiency?

One should not give folate to patients without doctor's consent as it may lead to nerve damage.
