Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:

1. Symptoms point towards a possible viral infection.
2. If neutrophils are elevated, need evaluation for bacterial infection
3. Vit B12 supplements will help in treating numbness.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have chest pain and pain at other site. Your x ray chestIis normal. So it can be due to gastritis, muscular pain or non specific cause. Your wbc count has no relation with that. Your high wbc count suggest some kind of infection.

Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
