Hi Atul,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,

After going through your available details, you have suffered DVT(Deep vein Thrombosis) and (PE) Pulmonary embolism and taking anticoagulant treatment(Warfarin).

If your Vitamin B12 is low and Homocysteine is high it may be due to Neuropathy and nerve damage what is known as subacute combined degeneration of spinal cord.Imbalance in walking is ataxia.

Nerve conduction study and EMG may be required and consult a Neuro physician
Correction of deficiency of B12 with injections should be helpful to you.

Hope this information helps to take proper decision regarding future action and
I wish you good health.

Take care.
Good Luck.
Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D
