I was doing some work (labour) today and my arms and hands fingwrs all swelled. They are back to normal now. Could that be b12 deficiency symptom or something else? My fingers and hands have been swelling since novemver time on and off in the morning when i am walking and so on. Waiting on the urine results to eule b12 def in or out. Test sent last monday.

personally I don'tn associate B12 deficiency with swelling so think there is probably something else going on
