My mom had HTO knee surgery on her left leg two weeks ago but keeps getting frequent fever, swelling, and pain. The doctors diagnosed her with DVT and are treating her with Enoxaparine sodium injections. There's slight improvement, but I'm not sure if this is the best treatment or if we should see another specialist. How long does it usually take to recover from DVT
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
DVT recovery takes weeks to months; continue enoxaparin and follow up with a vascular specialist.

View allI'm dealing with iron deficiency anemia and my doctor recommended a Ferium 1k infusion. I'm wondering how much my hemoglobin levels might go up after just one of these injections?

I'm looking at my blood test results and it mentions something about normocytic normochromic RBCs. I'm a bit confused about what that really means for my health. Could you help me understand the potential causes behind this and what impact it might have on me?
Normocytic normochromic RBCs indicate that your red blood cells (RBCs) are normal in size (normocytic) and color (normochromic), suggesting that your RBCs are healthy and functioning properly, but this result can also be seen in early stages of anemia

I'm dealing with anemia and it's been really tough. When I wake up in the morning, my whole body aches and I feel fatigued constantlyIm always in this sleepy state. I experience dizziness, breathlessness, and lower back pain, along with pain on my neck between the shoulders and under my head, almost like cervical issues. I get leg cramps at night, and I've noticed hyperpigmentation on my face, my hair has become thin, and my periods are really light. It's starting to affect my studies. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency anemia. To help improve your condition, I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate tablets. You can take one tablet (325 mg) once a day with a glass of orange juice to enhance absorption. Additionally, try to include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, beans, and dark leafy greens. Make sure to also consume foods high in Vitamin C to aid in iron absorption. Remember to follow up with regular blood tests to monitor your iron levels.
