Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin , is crucial for producing healthy red blood cells and supporting proper nervous system function
I had been going to the gym everyday for months and still nothing
For intramuscular injections, the common sites for B12 injections are the arm, upper buttocks, and thigh
Advantages of oral form over IM injection: Less nursing time on injections Less complexity of care Less discomfort/pain Less bleeding in patients who take anticoagulants Less costly according to some analyses Disadvantages of oral form over IM injection:: Greater risk of non-compliance In 1991, a survey done on Minneapolis internists led one commentary to conclude that oral vitamin B 12 replacement for pernicious anemia was one of medicines best kept secret. 18 In 1996, when the survey was repeated again in the same area, awareness and use of oral vitamin B 12 for pernicious anemia had increased substantially (019%), but the majority of doctors still remain unaware of this treatment option (61%)
Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions
If symptoms do not improve despite adequate B12 replacement, further investigation for other causes of nerve pain will be necessary
