Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through the reports attached with the query.
You are suffering from vit D and vit B12 deficiency and your symptoms seems to be related to this one.
Your doctor had correctly prescribe the injections. These are taken for 3-6 weeks to correct the deficiency.After that for maintaince of these level you have to take good sunlight exposure and diet XXXXXXX in vit B12.It will take 6-8 weeks to recover .
Methylcobalamine and vit D are vitamin and so except for local injection site effects ,like swelling or pain,there is not much side effect if taken in appropriate doses under supervision of treating doctor.
Hope this will help you. Please do write back if you have any additional concerns.
Wishing you good health...
