Pain, pin and needles after b12 injection

Hello Everyone,

Just had my second B12 injection yesterday on my right arm (had one last week on left arm) and since this morning afer waking up I have extreme pain on my left arm (pin, needles, numbness) and fingers just by touching it. Is it normal after having b12 injection.

P.s Also there is a mild shaking on both of the legs.

Are these your loading injections?

If so yes it's normal. It can get a lot worse before it gets better.

Thank you. Yes it is b12 injections. My Gp also wanted me to have b12 test after my first injection and the results are:

Serum vitamin B12 level > 2000 ng/L [220.0 - 700.0]

Of course they will be high . Was your Gp checking the injection had been given?

Keep an eye on your arm . Any swelling at injection site or arm it's self I would get checked out.

The other symptoms I'm familiar with and a sign repair is happening in think.
