Suggest Remedy For Joint Pain In Vitamin B12 Deficinet People
I have been having for the last few years joint pain in my elbows, knees, and wrists. I have been checked out tested negative to lupus, RA, etc. But I am so tired I hurt and I do have a severe B-12 deficiency and I take 4000 mg of vitamin B-12 daily but I still have problems. Tell me what I need to do
Injectable vit B 12 are superior for achieving normal sr B12 level as intestinal absorption as with oral medication is not there, so I will advise to take intramuscular injection alternate day at least 6 ,and then repeat blood test.
