If one has kept up one's B12 ingestion, it is highly unlikely that this new pain/sensory disruption is from depletion of B12 stores, but more likley from biomechanical issues.

Not to say that B12 isn't important for neuroprotection and rebuilding, but it's not the only issue in nerve conditions, and sometimes not the primary one.

Yup, that's what my neurologist always said, or thereabouts.

But the fact is that B12 ingestion if always the same is not capable of keeping B12 levels where they should be if there are additional stresses or additional pain.

I say that from experience.
