Detailed Answer:

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are having numbness in great and second toe. Mecobalamine is helpful in relieving from numbness. You need to see cause of this numbness by blood sugar test( for diabetes). Whether you are also having back pain? If you have backache also then you need to got your MRI of lumbar spine to see for cause( lumbar spondylosis with neuropathy) .

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.

I already take b12 tablets and magnesium. Is this different? Should I suggest to my primary care doctor about diabetes or mention to my podiatrist?
