Calf cramp since B12 shot
I had B12 deficiency so took a shot. After few hours my right calf started paining a lot that I had to keep massaging it. I couldn't even walk or stand. Now its been two days. I still get that cramp like pain every now and then. Is it sode effect of B12? What should I do! Few years back also I took a shot nothing happened then. What could be the reason and treatment ?
