Tingling Sensation, Numbness, Muscle Pull In Legs, Lightheadedness. On B12 Shots. Done Blood Test. What Is The Solution?

I have for over a year suffered with tingling throughout my body, now I feel slight numbness in the souls of my feet if I flex them. I do not feel the numbness when I walk. My doctor has been giving me B12 shots once. A month for the past year. They were helping. Now, I had a shot last week and it s worse than ever. Plus a lightheaded ness Tingling from head to toe with slight numbness. Pulled a muscle in my leg, went to emergency 2weeks ago, I explained the tingling, they said my blood test and X-Rays showed no sings of blood clots. Getting really bothered now. Can you advise?

Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

The doctors have been giving you vitamin B12 with probable diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy.
And it has helped. As other investigation have been done to rule out other significant pathology there seems to be no cause of concern. Application of hot water fomentation will help

Take care
