I'm really worried because my blood test shows a high total WBC count of 23,000, and I'm experiencing fever along with full body pain. Can you please guide me on what steps I should take next?

   • Radiating to the groin
2. Gas and bowel movements: Your symptoms seem more related to gastrointestinal issues, such as:
   • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
   • Gas and bloating
   • Constipation or diarrhea

Possible Causes:

1. Gastrointestinal issues: As mentioned earlier, IBS, gas, and bowel movement issues could be contributing to your symptoms.
