Question

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

DVT recovery takes weeks to months; continue enoxaparin and follow up with a vascular specialist.

Question

I've been having problems with sleep disorders and noticed my skin's looking pretty pale. My doctor suggested I get a CBC, and while my hemoglobin is usually around 11, it dropped to 7.4 this time. The doctor couldn't believe the CBC report and asked me to redo it. The next morning, it went down to 7 with platelets at 629. I also had an abdomen pelvis ultrasound, but everything came back normal. Now, doctors keep passing me off to someone else. What could be going on?

Question

I'm looking over my blood report, and it says predominantly normocytic normochromic with microcytes and ovalocytes, and my hemoglobin level is 9.5. Should I be worried about these findings, and what do they actually mean for my health?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood test results showing high lymphocytes. Is this something I should be worried about? Plus, I've been losing weight unexpectedly. Could these things be connected?
