And it last for about 3 to 4 days. B12 is very low so Dr gave a prescription for shot every week at 5000 units each. It even makes me nauseated and my appetite is low almost like a flu symptom.
Has anyone else had similar problem? The pain in the rump is the worst like a knife or pinched nerve.
Welcome to NeuroTalk:
Do you know what your B12 level is?

Are you severely anemic?

Severely anemic patients when given injections of B12 may have temporary low potassium, as potassium is grabbed by the bone marrow to make red cells quickly. So eating potassium rich foods is a good idea.

You don't really need injections. Studies show oral can work if taken on an empty stomach, daily. 5mg of activated B12 called methylcobalamin works and is not expensive or hurtful and invasive.
Here is my B12 thread:

methylcobalamin is now available at Walgreen's, and Costco.
You can also buy it online. Pennies a day.
