I’ve been feeling pain in my thighs and knees for the past two days.

so right I woke up on Saturday morning feeling intense pain in my thighs and knees, I can barely walk, I went to the city centre yesterday for shopping and I could not walk because it was pain, I’m a sufferer of anaemia and I’m unsure if this is a part of the anaemia or not because I was diagnosed back in June and I haven’t done much research since then.

Presumably since June you have been taking something to improve the anaemia?

What had you been doing Friday? Is it muscle pain in your thighs or bone pain?

What are you taking for anaemia? I was deficient in vitamin B12 and folate which causes something like pernicious anaemia. Since I have been taking B12 and folic acid for a while (& some other things), the improvement is remarkable.

If this persists do speak to your doctor. I am sure you can be helped. Good luck.

Pernicious anaemia causes low b12, (low B12 doesn’t cause P.A) as you cannot absorb it, it needs lifelong injections of B12 every 3 months.
If B12 can be absorbed then supplements and/or die changes will improve levels.

Is that post for me, Hunting? I don't have pernicious anaemia, I have or had low B12 and folate and the symptoms were akin to those of PN. I think I am OK now but will wait and see what the next blood test reveals.

My maternal grandmother and aunt had PN and used to get monthly injections. They were both quite well and lived to their nineties (I don't think I will :-)!

@HuntingHappiness ive been trying to take my iron tablets but the problem is I can’t swallow tablets, and I’ve tried hiding them in a harbio gummy bear and as soon as the tablet hit my mouth I gagged.

@LBFseBrom I have folate anaemia.

@LBFseBrom folac acid tablets I got prescribed my doctor.
