starting self injecting EOD .. have really bad stabbing pains in feet

[Lowblow]

hi everyone

I’ve just started self injecting eod .. the stabbing pains in my feet are wicked !! In my head I feel that this means it’s starting to work ? Would I be correct in thinking this ? Also does this mean k definitely have neuropathy ? How would I get this diagnosed ?

Sounds like it may be the nerves in your feet are recovering due to B12 availability. Hopefully it starts to improve.... took several weeks for improvement enough in my hands to do normal stuff again like typing, txting etc without electric shock nerve pains.

First of all, well done for biting the bullet and doing the self injection. I hope it's working for you.

I think everyone's experience of neuropathy is probably slightly different, depending on cause and length of deficiency etc.

You would need a neurologist to diagnose neuropathy.

Good luck with the injections and keep going. Don't give up.

A referral to s neurologist. Hopefully to do nerve testing.

If you are still having neurological symptoms have you considered injecting more often?
