Is Methycobal Effective In The Treatment Of Joint Pain?

Hi. I am 61 years old and experiencing joint pains in my right knee. I have a hard time walking straight from rest/sitting or after driving. I am taking 1 tablet of methycobal 500 mg daily without doctors prescription. May I ask the benefit it gives to a person. Is it healthy/safe to take this tablet. Hope to receive your reply, Thank you

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are taking vitamin B12 tablet.
It is absolutely safe and no need to worry for side effects.
Vitamin B12 is good for nerve functions.
So, it won't be helpful for your joint pain.
Better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination and x ray of Right knee joint.
Possibility of osteoarthritis is more likely.
You may be improve with calcium and vitamin d 3 supplements. For severe cases, knee replacement surgery is the only option.
So for joint pain, methyl cobal tablet will not be effective.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
