hi there mr.manoj, your vit B12 levels are in the normal range and taking vit B12 suppliment is not harmful so you may continue taking it but if you expected your numbness to decrease due to this therapy then I am sorry tosay that you need to be examined and investigated for other causes of numbness in your hand and fingers. Please do visit a neurologist and get yourself evaluted for the same. Take care.
