High Levels of Vitamin B12 and Ferritin: Any pointers?

I posted about this a month or so ago but have had no luck getting any information. My B12 has been elevated for a couple of years (no, I don't take any supplements). Last October it was a little over 4000, now it is a little over 6000. All other blood work is good. The development that has me worried is excruciating lower back pain. I thought it was muscular or maybe I had irritated my arthritis but this feels more like an organ than bone or muscle. So far, doctors have dismissed the B12 numbers as "nothing to be worried about" help!

Hello, reaching out to see if you've had any luck with understanding your elevated B12 levels.
About 6 months back my dermatologist asked me to have a bunch of tests due to excessive hairfall and while everything else was normal, my B12 was very high. I repeated the test last week and it's at the same level - around 1560. My doc too shrugged it off saying it's nothing to worry about.
Everything on Google points this out to be something to be explored. I intend to repeat the test again in 4 months or so.
