Question 1

I'm feeling really cold since yesterday and there's this constant pain in my leg that just won't go away. I'm also experiencing dizziness along with full body aches; it was really bad last night. What could be causing all these symptoms? Should I be concerned or is there something I can do at home to feel better?

Accepted Answer

RBCs normocytic normochromic in a blood test indicates:

- *Normocytic*: Red Blood Cells (RBCs) are normal in size.
- *Normochromic*: RBCs have a normal amount of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen.

This result suggests:

1. RBCs are healthy and functioning properly.
2. No indication of anemia due to abnormal RBC size or hemoglobin content.

However, anemia can still be present due to other factors, such as:

1. Low RBC count
2. Poor RBC function
3. Chronic diseases

Consult your doctor to interpret your complete blood test results and determine if further evaluation is needed.

While her creatinine levels are improving, swelling could still be due to kidney or heart-related issues, medications, or dietary factors.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like the swelling near your knee could be due to a soft tissue injury or internal bruising, which can sometimes take longer to heal. Since you can now bend your knee, that's a positive sign, but the pain and swelling might take a little more time to subside. I recommend applying ice and elevating the knee, and if the pain persists or worsens, consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation and possible imaging.
