Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician. I understand your concern. Tingling or needle like sensations in hands and legs are often seen in Vitamin B12 deficiency. Since you are already on B12 injections, it means your body has started receiving supplementation, but recovery of nerve-related symptoms usually takes some time. ✅ Advices • Continue your B12 injections as advised by your doctor without interruption • Eat a balanced diet with B12-rich foods like dairy products, eggs, and fish if you are not vegetarian • Ensure you also check and correct Vitamin D and folic acid levels if required, as deficiencies can overlap What to Monitor • Whether the tingling sensation is reducing over weeks • Any improvement in energy levels and weakness • Watch if numbness worsens or new symptoms appear like difficulty in walking or balance problems Management Nerve symptoms caused by B12 deficiency can take several weeks to months to fully recover depending on how long the deficiency was present. Most patients notice improvement within 4 to 8 weeks of regular treatment, but in some cases complete recovery may take longer. When to Consult a Doctor Immediately • If tingling or numbness becomes more severe despite treatment • If you develop difficulty in walking, weakness, or loss of bladder or bowel control • If there is no improvement at all after completing the prescribed injection course Every patient’s situation is unique. It is important to regularly monitor your Vitamin B12 level, blood counts, and discuss your progress with your doctor to ensure recovery. 👉 You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation. I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one on one consultation where you will receive A personalized treatment plan Safe medicine adjustments if required Quick follow ups to track your recovery Take care, wishing you good health. Best regards, Dr. Romain Rajan General Physician

Firstly need to ensure that your symptoms are only due to vit b12 def and not another cause. It's common to have vit b12 def and its not necessarily the cause of your symptoms When we supplement someone, we also give folic acid. I hope you are taking that too If your symptoms don't settle after a month, you need evaluation

Hi there The numbness that you are experiencing is not due to injection but it is due to deficiency of vit b12 . Since you are getting injections so you must have a moderate to severe deficiency of vitb12 , but don’t worry it will improve with time Just treat your b12 deficiency, after injections you will be shifted to oral supplements For better consultation i would require lab reports of yours So if you need assistance you can drop a message

Injection B12 is mostly given to recover the rapidly decreasing hemoglobin. Ideally 4-6 doses are enough to recover. Feel free to consult further, to opt for better management of the condition
