Brief Answer:
Get Vit D levels checked
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
It does take time for the Vit B 12 stores which got replenished by injections to act in the body tissues.
I would also suggest you to get Vit D levels tested, the pain you are experiencing could be due to low levels of Vit D.
If the Vit D levels are normal then i would recommend a visit to Orthopedician for further evaluation.
Hope, I answered your query.

My Vitamin D level is 21. I do not have any swelling in my legs. Please suggest if there is not any issue of uric acid. Also let me know that if there is anything to worry. Please let me know how much time it will take to get the vit b to a level and when can I get it test.
Brief Answer:
Take Vit D supplements
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your Vit D level is low, you need to take supplements.
Take Cap D-rise 60k one capsule per week for 8 weeks followed by 1 capsule per month for 8 months.
If there is no swelling in the joints then there is no need to worry about uric acid levels.
Vit B 12 levels need a minimum of 3 months for the stores to get saturated and the dietary vit b 12 to get incorporated in the tissues.
