As @johnbishop said, muscle weakness is one of the several side effects of B12 deficiency. I don’t know what medications you take,
if any , your age or your diet , but I would first get your Doctor or PA to order another blood panel that includes B12 and then go from there before you seek another type of Doctor on your own. I have know one person in the past who had to get B12 injections periodically for the rest of his life. I don’t remember his symptoms except for extreme fatigue but there may have been more.

In Aug. Of 2021 I had a neck operation and during my hospital stay they gave me "Pantoprazole " they said I had a bleeding ulcer. I started have muscle and nerve pain in my arms and legs. Hospital said I needed to see a neurologist. December was the first opening I could get.
They did blood work and found my B12 was at 218. In August when I had the operation it was 875.
If you read up Pantoprazole it blocks B12 from getting in your system. I did B12
injections from December of 21 to May of 22.
My level is stable now.
I'm still recovering.
