What Causes Severe Knee Pain After An Increased Vitamin B-12 Intake?
I have experienced some increased pain in my knees since increasing my dosage of b-12. Does that make since? Also what is the safest amount to take? I take it in the morning with breakfast. Can I take it again in the afternoon if I am having a drop in energy? My dosage is 2500msg.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The knee pain is not related to increased vitamin B12 level. Also, raising the vitamin B12 dose to treat the lack of energy problem is not advisable.
Instead of that, consume more liquids with a balanced, nutritious diet for fast recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
