Question

I'm a bit concerned because my lymphocyte count is at 49 and monocyte count is at 1. Is this within the normal range or should I be worried about any health issues?

I've just received my blood test results, and a few things seem off to me. My mean platelet volume is 12.9, platelet distribution width is 17.2, and my platelet to large cell ratio is 46. Also, my total RBC count is 5.81, the monocytes absolute count is 0.17, and basophils absolute count is 0.01. Plus, my Vitamin D3 level is 8.3, and HDL cholesterol is 31. I'm quite thin and trying to gain some weight, but I keep experiencing numbness in my legs and hands. Which specialist should I see about these issues, and are they treatable? I'm really looking for some guidance here.
