B12 Deficiency & Calf/Thigh Pain: A 50-Year-Old Woman's Experience


Question
im 50 year old female that had b12 deficiency for a couple of months that was not picked up, I used to walk 6 miles a night and I noticed a pulling in my calf muscles that felt like tight tendons snapping backwards and forwards.
I started eating the right diet and my b12 went up but i had a frozen shoulder which I dont know if it was related to b12.We shifted to another town and its very hilly here now I have noticed when I amm walking my calves feel empty and my thighs feel pulled and weak and stiff,I wake up every morning feeling like my whole body is tight and stiff and my diaphram feels pulled up,my tummy is tight and it seems to affect me when I walk....since walking up the hills my stomach seems to be hurting more and I have pain all across my shoulders and across my back of right rib.
It does feel like its coming from the spine but its affecting my diaphram....what could be causing this?...my arms and legs feel like they are burning like a pulled parched weak feeling...any help would be appreciated.thanks

Answer
Marj,

Sorry for the delay, I didn't realize I was still part of the panel.  (Silly me!). Hopefully by now you have had someone (preferably a doc or naturopathic doc, etc)take a look at this for you. My area of knowledge is massage and neuromuscular therapy, so I can't answer about the b12, except to ask that you do seek help from someone in your area. Massage can help with the symptoms, but it's best to find out what's causing them, first. Even perhaps chiropractic, if you know of someone good. I'm sorry I can't help further. If you have more questions for me, I shall attempt to be more prompt. Good luck to you.
