What Causes Pain In Legs And Arms Despite Taking Vitamin B12 Shots?

My legs ache. Doctor has done blood work, said my Vitamin D and B12 was low. Said it is ok now after taking vitamins and B12 shots. But at times it is all I can do to try to walk. My arms are also weak. I am 55 years old. Always been a hard worker and active lifestyle. N But now it is a struggle to do daily activites. General practice Doctor doesn t seem to be concerned. We don t know where to go now.
