I think it is unlikely that 50mcg a day of B12 would put you so high.

Echos has a point however, about your B6 intake. The only way to isolate this problem is to discontinue the Complex and only use the B12 separately.

Red Yeast rice works like statins. It contains statin-like chemicals, and we know statins can cause PN. Each of these supplements varies in how much statin-like actions are present, depending on the quality of extract used by each manufacturer.

Riding bicycles move the ankle alot. If you have any tarsal tunnel entrapement issues or arthritis, you can aggravate the nerves with this form of exercise. I have scar tissue from a surgery on my left instep, and the bikes always aggravated pain in that foot for me.

Your foot burning can be due to many things, in other words.

Question

Could it be possible that my B12 levels are high because the body isn't absorbing B12 for some reason? If so, what could possibly cause that to happen? Is there a specific test that can be done to check B12 absorption rate?

I'll stop the B-complex and just take B12 as suggested and see what happens.
The burning in my feet seems to be less now, but my right leg is still weaker than the left.

Thanks for all your help and support! 8-)

B12 levels cannot become high, if you are not absorbing.

They can become high if your kidneys are not excreting it.
So some studies show high B12 levels when no supplements are taken, as kidney related.

High levels of B12 with no supplements, may occur with some leukemias, or some intestinal dysbioses (infections with certain B12 forming organisms). These are pretty uncommon and not usually found with a B12 screen.
