Hello @2620, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry to hear you haven't been able to get any help after having a couple of falls and trouble with walking. We are all patients like yourself and would have no way of knowing if B12 injections will help with your symptoms. I think it depends on your diagnosis and possibly have a deficiency of B12. There are a couple of discussions you might find helpful on B12 and neuropathy.

You mentioned that you have not been able to get help. Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy or had any tests for neuropathy?
