b12 injections

[whiteorchid]

I've been experiencing muscle stiffness, tingling and numbness in legs and feet.   I don't notice anything while sitting, but when standing or walking, it just feels strange walking - almost like a heaviness and burning if I'm on my legs for too long. The tingling is pretty minor now (it was worse) and I no longer have the constant muscle twitches. It all started after a whiplash injury, followed by severe anxiety, I'm still experiencing the anxiety on a daily basis as a result of all of these weird symptoms -- rarely a panic attack, though.  It feels like my gait is slightly off and I've noticed my left knee has been aching and stiff.  I've asked my doctor about b12 injections -- I've been tested for b12 deficiency (serum "535" and intrinsic factor blocking antibody "negative") but I still think b12 injections may help, I know they can't hurt.  Does anyone know if the tests I've had done completely rule out b12 deficiency?  I am a vegetarian and have been for 10 years and have read that anything below 535 can show symptoms, particularly following a trauma.  I've been taking b12 orally but I feel it wouldn't hurt to try the injections and see what happens.  Anyone have any success?
