Hello,
Yes Your hand and feet numbness is most likely from vitamin deficiencies, especially Vitamin B12, plus low Vitamin D and iron.
B12 deficiency commonly causes nerve symptoms (numbness/tingling), usually starting in the feet and sometimes spreading to hands.
Even after starting supplements, nerve recovery takes time → usually 2–6 months, so 1 month is still early.
Keep taking Vitamin D, B12, and iron as prescribed and recheck labs after 8–12 weeks.
I trust this helps Thank you
Numbness in the hands and feet can have multiple causes, and from what you’ve described, it seems like you might be dealing with a nutrient deficiency-related neuropathy. Low levels of vitamin D, B12, and iron can all contribute to nerve-related symptoms. Given your low vitamin D levels and supplementation history, it’s essential to ensure that your body is absorbing these nutrients effectively. While vitamin D plays a role in overall nerve and muscle health, vitamin B12 is crucial for maintaining proper nerve function, and iron is necessary for oxygen transport in the blood, which indirectly supports nerve health. It’s important to follow up with your healthcare provider to recheck your vitamin D, B12, and iron levels to ensure they’re increasing as expected, and to rule out other potential causes like diabetes, thyroid issues, or more systemic conditions that might affect nerves. Additionally, examining your lifestyle for factors such as excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications, or prolonged postures that may contribute to the symptoms might be insightful. If your symptoms persist or worsen, particularly the unilateral nature of right-hand predominance, it would be wise to undergo further diagnostic evaluation, potentially including nerve conduction studies or an MRI, depending on your doctor’s advice. Meanwhile, ensure that your diet includes rich sources of other B vitamins, maintain good hydration, and avoid repetitive motions or positions that might strain the nerves. If any new alarming symptoms arise, like severe or sudden weakness, imbalance, or significant pain, seeking prompt medical attention would be crucial to address potentially serious underlying conditions.
