Anyone have an association between vitamin B12 and tingling/pain in the feet? For a year now, I have had extreme foot pain, and feel tingling when I rub the tops.  Prolonged standing/walking is painful, even after as little as 30 minutes.  My foot X-rays do not show much arthritis or osteoporsis.  I just had a blood test and am borderline low in B 12 and wondered if there was some connection there. I am a female, age 55, and very active until this condition started.  The only other symtom I have noted in the past year is more frequent diarrhea.  I don't fit into any of the normal paramaters of foot pain sources, and so far, my podiatrist has not been able to provide much relief.  Part of the problem is that I am unable to take the best NSAIDS, in 3 days I have severe stomach cramps and diarrhea.  I do wear custom fitted orthotics, and they help, but I still can barely walk sometimes.  Other times there is no pain at all, and there does not seem to be any pattern, except they are way worse when I am on my feet a lot.

Summarized question: Can low levels of vitamin B12 cause tingling and pain in the feet?
