i am 32 years old.five foot 3 inches and my weight is 10 and a half stone.i was diagnosed with low b12 5 months ago.i had 6 injections done every other day.then after 3 months i had a blood test done again and my b12 was low again i had used up all 6 injections.i had another injection and was told to have 1 every 2 months.i feel tired all the time my eyes twitch.i have poor memory,concentration.and have got very clumsy.and i have now been told i have sciatica as i have hd back pain for last 3 months and pain in my right leg and pins an needles in my feet.my question is is this linked to b12 being low again?i have been to gp and been told im sressed.they havnt done my bloods again.but im very concerned at feeling this bad at 32 i feel more like 70.
Hello, Low vitaminB12 can aggravate the symptoms, but it is not the underlying causes. Low vitaminB12 manifest as numbness and not the pain. Possible causes like disc bulge which will subsequently compress the nerve root may be the cause. Consult a spine specialist and plan for an MRI spine. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
