why bumps hurt longer than usual?

Are these problems related to a particular nutritional deficiency?
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

If there was a relation to being a vegan, it would
most likely be vitamin B-12 deficiency. If left
untreated until it was very severe, it could manifest
as neurological problems such as peripheral
neuropathy (numbness or pain, typically in the
hands and/or feet and progressing toward the
trunk). Long before then, there will be changes
in your blood workup.

If this is what you got, you need to get it treated
as soon as possible. Some of the damage may
be permanent. A single B-12 shot can fix you
up for several years. (The excess is stored in
the liver.)

Although normal dietary sources of B-12 are
not vegan (meat, eggs, cheese), the B-12 in
commercial supplements is made by bacteria.

manganese for the menieres disease symptoms (takes about 3-4 months) ,
dizziness and memory and ear noises.
magnesium for the bone spur and tendonitis, bursitus problems
digestive enzymese each morning for the gas and to get your digestion
working again.

possibly get off the calcium...it is damaging humans on this planet from all
the hype.

Other health problems that I am experiencing are:
passing a lot of gas
frozen shoulder (about 2 years ago)
tennis elbow injury (about 3-4 years ago)
poor memory
acute laborinthitis (dizziness and lack of balance about 2 years ago)

Are these problems related to a particular nutritional deficiency? Any

P.S. I do exercise (jog + upper body exercise) several times a week.
