I am new to this site and not really sure
if this is the best forum to post my
question in but here goes......
I am a 25 year old female very involved in
sports and healthy. For almost two months
I have been feeling very fatigued, I have
been getting many unexplained bruises
which are not going away, mostly on my
legs, and I have been experiencing bone
pain with weight bearing. My doctor
thinks it is a stress fracture and told me
to rest. She also did blood work which
showed elevated neutrophils and monocytes.
This worried me but I was told I probably
had a cold. I am not getting better and
all my symptoms seem to be getting worse.
Could there be another explaination other
than a cold and a stress fracture to
explain the blood work, bruising, bone
pain, and fatigue?
Thanks

Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with these
blood tests. There could be many, many,
many things that are causing your
symptoms. How long ago did you have these
tests done? Did you doctor say if they
would repeat the tests to track your
improvement? I am sorry that you are going
through this. I always thought the hardest
thing was not knowing what is going on
with me. Hopefully they will get to the
bottom of things!
