Brief Ans-Antibiotic and infection induced Neutropenia / Under Evaluation
Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
I reviewed facts of your query in context to your health issues and feel concerned about them.
My Primary Opinion-
In My opinion, in the given situation you seem to suffer from-?Neutropenia with ?IBS or with ? incompletely treated Renal infection.
Dear, the low wbc with low neutrophils lately found, indicates presence of sublinical infection-may be from untreated old kidney infection/ or as its in groin-it could be from undetected IBS with spastic sigmoid colon,if the pain is in left groin.Please update which groin-left/ right, you get pains.
As your recent check with doctor,cleared you of muscular pains,above causes need to be ruled with Consults from GI Surgeon and or Urologist, if need be.
Other causes need to be ruled out,after getting more details from you.
