Wrist still sore

[Mozza127]

Been on injections now for 9 months ...and take b12 tablets ...so why have my fingers starated with pins and needles and my hand hard to shut tight and wrist pain.so confused .thanks any help of knowledge

You need to see a neurologist. It might well be carpal tunnel syndrome. But it certainly doesn't sound like it's caused by a lack of B12.

i had CT scan yesterday never had so many problems until b12 was diagnosed

It does sound as if your problem may be musculoskeletal rather than B12 but sorting out a problem with wrist and hand can be quite difficult - on one level diagnosis would depend on which fingers you are having problems with .... and to me carpal tunnel manifested as problems opening the hand rather than problems closing though I guess it could be different for others.

If you have problems with the little finger then that would make carpal tunnel very unlikely but might indicate a problem elsewhere, eg in the neck or elbow.

A neurologist can do a nerve conduction study to find out where the problem is, or a referral to a physio who may be able to provide exercises to strengthen muscles which can free up a constriction.

You really need to see your doctor and talk through precisely which digits are involved etc.

Do you also have thyroid problems? I have found many of the same symptoms occur with both B12 and thyroid and self immune illnesses. I began treatment about a year ago and only now have some of my symptoms subsided. Good luck
