If you take metformin, you might need B12. This drug impairs B12 utilization.
Have you had a B12 test? Was it over 400? Don't accept a doctor's claim of "normal" without knowing the result.
Labs in US are still reporting lows as "normal".
Another thing that helps pain is magnesium. If you are low in this, and your use of Metformin suggests diabetes, which wastes magnesium through the urine, then getting a good magnesium supplement ( a chelated form, NOT OXIDE), may help.
Using a lotion topically along your wrist and arm of magnesium may help too. Epsom It or Kirkman cream are two available online today. The magnesium from the topical can get to places that oral may not reach due to vasoconstriction and inflammation.
