A member asked:
Should strenuos exercise be avoided if one has b12 deficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: First of all, its not too difficult to up your B12 even if you are a vegan, you can take it sublingually. Second, i think the bigger problem is the paresthesias, and pain. Those will inhibit exercise more than the B12 deficiency.
