Numbness in both legs
I have numbness in my legs below my knees and it's very difficult to walk around properly. Upon checking, I found out that I have a deficiency of Vitamin B12(144pg/mL) and Vitamin D(4ng/mL). Should I follow the medications provided by my physician for intake of VB12 and VD medicines? Or is there something else?

Numbness in both legs due to a deficiency in vitamin B12 is possible. Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in nerve function, and its deficiency can lead to neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness. If you suspect a vitamin B12 deficiency, it's important to consult for proper diagnosis and treatment.
