Vitamin B12 deficiency: Have you felt this peculiar sensation in your thighs? Sign to spot
Vitamin B12 is a crucial ingredient for the healthy running of the body, as it’s needed to make red blood cells. Signs of a deficiency can develop very slowly, so it may be difficult to diagnose the condition. Experiencing this peculiar sensation in your thighs possibly moving to your hips could indicate your levels are extremely low.
If you notice a tingling pain on the back of your legs, you should consider speaking to a doctor.
“If you have any unusual undiagnosed symptoms, perhaps you should consider whether you have a vitamin B12 deficiency. Chances are you don’t, but many people do,” said charity Patient Thyroid Advocacy.
“B12 deficiency sometimes goes undiagnosed until the symptoms become moderate to severe.
“Tingling along the back of one or both thighs, starting at the hips and shooting downward.
“This starts out as more an annoyance than pain but can develop into pain if not treated.”
