Brief Answer:
Still suggest you to take vitamin B 12

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Vitamin B 12 test has a big range so even if your test is normal then also I would like to suggest you to take methylcobalamine. You should also continue to take vitamin D ans calcium. Pinching nerve can cause parasthesia and hot and cold sensation as well. MRI is a non invasive test so no harm in getting it done. Are you a smoker as smoking can also cause such symptoms.

Let me know if you have further doubts.

Thanks and take care.

Thank you Dr.
What about Ginco, is it helps for coldness?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Dr. Naveen Kumar Sharma (3 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Ginco helps in neural pain

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Most studies has proved that Ginco is useful in nerve pain but I never used in my patients. You can take it but before that discuss with your physcian as it some time cause dizziness and bleeding problems. If he thinks it is safe in you with all those medicines you are taking then you can take it.
Let me know if there is any other followup question is there.
Thanks.
