Are the pains related to specific movements or do they just happen when you aren't moving at all. Is it a symptom you had in the past that might be reversing out?It could be to do with muscles or it could be something else entirely - shingles springs to mind. Have you spoken to your doctor about it?

I have many bad symptoms but the worst is my upper back pain related to my hands and also my neck pain. I can't sleep at night. I had improvement but after infected with COVID last month my symptoms relapsed and I felt my upper back muscles losing their resistance to prolonged load I mean sleeping mode. Most of my muscles have lost their strength and I can't even stand on my feet and I have severe pain. In B12 deficiency muscles Lise their strength against a prolonged load. And by starting injection our muscles reconstruct themselves and that's why our symptoms even get worse and extend to all of our body. In my case symptoms bat the beginning just started in my feet and then my back upper and lower along with stomach muscles added. But after one and half year injection now still have bad symptoms but my injection were not routine at the beginning and after I learned how to increase my injection endurance bI was able to increase frequency of injection now I inject every other day and feeling my feet are getting improved but my upper part after developing symptoms now started to get improved. I have blurry eyesight, double vision which I think is getting improved. Based on Dutch stitchers website people with mire than five years of deficiency may start improvement after almost eight months of routine injection . But all of us are different and we have to embark on this journey to get back to normal lofe

It can cause many stabbing pains almost anywhere there are nerve endings in the body...muscle spasms as well. I struggle with muscle spasms in my back, pelvis, and legs and legs or hands just not working occasionally...like dropping a glass because my hand just let go all by itself, random. Fun times. I'm not diagnosing you...just saying from my experience with PA. Sometimes I wonder what exactly it does to the gut muscles.... If they react the same and if it just feels different. Other things can cause those issues as well.
