Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Blood test showing my hemoglobin at 6.8, Hematocrit @ 34.4, HB 17.6 and HB Corp 19.8. Urine show no infection but erythrocytes 1-3 and blood 80 mg/dL (I live in Mexico so not sure of translation) I m being treated by pain specialist for fibromyalgia but not much is working he prescribed meloxicam last week with good results
If your hemoglobin is 6.8 then this is the major culprit. Such low hemoglobin may lead to generalized body pains, irritability, loss of interest in work etc. I shall advise you to first have complete blood work out with a gastroenterologist consultation to rule the reason for low hemoglobin. Your physician is right person who can decide for oral formulation or blood transfusion. Till then I shall advise you take diet full of green leafy vegetables. You should also take a multivitamin preparation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
