A member asked:

Can eating too much of vitamin b12 increase burning pain with a neuropathic disease?

Dr. Paul Grin answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Not likely: Vitamin B12 i is water soluble vitamin. Taking too much vitamin B12 can give you side effects, but not neuropathic pain. Because B12 is water soluble vitamin, the body excretes excess amounts in the urine instead of storing it. Hope it helps.
