I'm a bit worried because I had ferinject along with saline, and now my wrist is swelling right above the vein where it was injected. It's been about half a day since the infusion. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what I should do?

View allI'm looking at my blood work results and I have a few concerns. It mentions predominantly normocytic normochromic with ovalocytes, and the platelets seem adequate on the smear. There's a bunch of numbers too: WBC is 8.74, Neutrophils are 59.7, Lymphocytes 34.9, Monocytes 2.5, Eosinophils 2.4, and Basophils 0.2. Then it lists the absolute counts like Neutrophil absolute count at 5.22 and Lymphocyte absolute count at 3.05. My RBC is 5.24 and Haemoglobin is 15.5. Platelet count is 155, with some measurements called PDW at 18.2, MPV at 12.8, and PLCR at 46.1. Is there something here to be cautious about? Do I need any treatment or should I be focusing on anything specific regarding these results? I'm not on any medications at the moment.
Low HB (9.8) and RBC (3.89) indicate anemia. High ESR (88) suggests inflammation or infection. Possible causes: - Chronic infection (e.g., TB, osteomyelitis) - Autoimmune disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus) - Chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., Crohn's, ulcerative colitis) - Malignancies (e.g., lymphoma, multiple myeloma) Consult a hematologist or a general physician to: - Investigate underlying causes - Conduct further tests (e.g., iron studies, vitamin B12, folic acid) - Develop a treatment plan

I'm a bit worried about my mean platelet volume being at 14.8. Does that seem unusually high or just slightly above normal? How can I bring it back to a more typical range? Any advice would be appreciated!
yes it will come

I've been dealing with a vitamin B12 deficiency for a couple of months and started getting B12 injections weekly for six weeks. I just got my levels checked again, and now they're over 2000. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Also, I have some other blood work results like hemoglobin at 15, platelets at 346, and WBC at 7800. I'm curious if these are all interconnected somehow. What's going on with my blood tests?
