Hypochromia means pale RBCs, often due to early iron deficiency. Even with normal hemoglobin, iron stores may be low.

I have been diagnosed with L4, L5, and S1 disc bulge. I am being treated with medicines and exercises prescribed by doctors. It has been 2 years, and I still have not recovered. I continue to face issues with bending forward or backward, side bending, stiffness in my back, and difficulty with prolonged sitting, standing, or walking?

My recent complete blood count test report is attached. I have been suffering from vitamin B12 deficiency and experiencing pins and needles for the last three years. This is my latest CBC report. Can you please evaluate the details?
