Full body cramps
I am male and 28 years old and from the past few days I am getting full body cramps. Even with light movement inam getting cramps. There is little bit of numbness and tingling as well. I did my blood test and my vitamin b12 level was 120, d3 level was 41, magnesium level was 2.04 and calcium level was 9.70. I took one neurobion forte injection 24 hrs ago but the whole body cramps are still there. What needs to be done?

Your B12 level is quite low and symptoms like cramps, tingling, and numbness can take a few days to improve even after the first injection, so don’t panic connect with me once and I’ll help you with the proper treatment course and recovery plan.

Your symptoms are very consistent with Vitamin B12 Deficiency. A B12 level of 120 is clearly low and can cause:
* muscle cramps
* tingling/numbness
* “electric” sensations
* muscle tightness
* weakness/fatigue
* anxiety-like sensations
* nerve irritation
Your Vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium are reasonably normal, so B12 deficiency becomes the strongest explanation here.
One Neurobion injection taken just 24 hours ago is usually not enough to reverse symptoms immediately. Nerve-related symptoms often improve gradually over days to weeks, depending on how long the deficiency has been present.
Next Steps
1. You need proper B12 replacement, not just one injection.
Common medical approaches include:
* Multiple methylcobalamin injections over several weeks
OR
* High-dose oral methylcobalamin if absorption is adequate
2. Important tests to consider:
* CBC with MCV
* Folate level
* Homocysteine
* Iron/ferritin
* Thyroid profile
* Blood sugar if symptoms persist
3. If you are vegetarian/vegan, have gastritis, acidity medicine use, IBS, or poor diet, those may be contributing causes.
4. Seek urgent evaluation if you develop:
* difficulty walking
* severe weakness
* balance problems
* bowel/bladder symptoms
* worsening numbness
* breathing difficulty
Health Tips
* Recovery from B12 deficiency is gradual; cramps may not improve within 24 hours.
* Hydration and electrolyte intake still matter because cramps can worsen with dehydration.
* Avoid excessive caffeine/alcohol if applicable.
* Include B12-rich foods:
* eggs
* dairy
* fish/meat (if non-vegetarian)
* Some people with very low B12 need treatment for several months.
Since you already have neurological symptoms (cramps + tingling/numbness), this should be treated properly rather than casually supplementing. An online consultation can help determine the correct injection schedule, identify the cause of your B12 deficiency, and monitor recovery before nerve symptoms become prolonged.
