Go to WalMart Get Vitamin B-12 sublinguals, 5000 unit size. Put one under your tongue and let it dissolve. Takes a few seconds. If you get no relief take two the next day. B-12 is the doctor prescribed treatment but the doctor wants to bring you in for shots probably twice a week. You don’t need shots of B-12. Experiment with the sublinguals for dosage. My daughter uses them for her sciatica. So does my favorite waitress at the Waffle House after I told her about them. She had been going to the doctor for that shot twice a week. She prefers the WM stuff. I don’t think you can overdose on B-12. Athletes take up to 20,000 units before a game.
That’s interesting. I was diagnosed a month ago with a B12 deficiency after a lot of blood work. I’ve had bad bouts of bronchitis over the years and it may be related to the B12. I am on 1000 micrograms per day sublingual. Haven’t really noticed any changes in anything. Last weekend I had an unexplained severe lower back flare up for no reason at all which was very odd. It subsided after increased stretching and Advil. I had not heard the sciatica / B12 connection. My neurologist found the deficiency and did a great job informing me about the need for B12 and good nervous system health (and immune system), so there does seem to be a connection.
