Default Vitamin Defiency

Hello,
I'm new here and found this site while resaerching for answers to my issues. I'm currently seeing my 3rd neurologists and after many years of testing and different Dr's I finally found one that has done something no other has done...HE ORDERED BLOOD WORK.

Found out I was Deficient in Vitamin D and very low in Vitamin B (285) I actually have to go back next week and get tested for Homocysteine and Methylmalonic Acid to double check my Vitamin B. I'm really hoping this will be the start of explaining my nerve issues as far as my left wrist and right damaged peroneal nerve. When my neurologists said my nerve damage could be from vitamin defiency I would have never thought something like that could happen. Don't know for sure if it's the case and I must admit my fears are extremely elevated and my anxiety has slightly taken over.

After researching Vitamin B deficiency I've had several Ahh Hah moments, for instance people who have been diagnosed with H-pylori and the ulcers that come with it are at risk for Vitamin B deficiency...WELL THAT WOULD BE ME.

Also I was getting Vitamin B injections starting 11/2011 through 06/2012 once sometimes twice a month as part of a weight loss program I was on. So if I tested at 285 this month does that seem pretty low for somone who had been getting injections??? Can the levels fall that fast?? Has anyone experienced nerve damage in their wrist and foot/leg from this deficiency?

I had surgery on my elbow 02/2013 and the Dr said I had two trapped nerves, I'm so lost as to why my hand still has not healed after the nerves have been released and now peroneal damage in my right leg causing a funny walk?
