Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms could be related to vitamin B12 deficiency. That is why it is necessary performing the vitamin B12 injections, prescribed by your doctor.
I would also recommend performing a nerve conduction study to investigate for possible neuropathy. Inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate) are needed too.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
