I request you to kindly review my blood test report and let me know whether everything is normal. My CBC report is attached below. Could you please confirm if my white blood cell count is high?

Why is my MCHC low and RDW high with anemia?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am experiencing pain in both hands, which sometimes becomes unbearable. The pain extends from my arms to my fingers and even my palms. According to my blood tests, I do not have any infection or fever (dengue, etc.). I do not understand the reason for this pain. My hands feel very weak, and I am unable to lift or hold any weight. The pain lasts throughout the day and night, but occasionally it becomes extremely severe. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
