Can a high WBC count cause bruising and numbness?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My WBC count has been elevated for the past few years without showing any signs of infection. I tested negative for leukemia and lymphedema. My doctor suggested I have idiopathic leukocytosis. I feel tired and experience numbness in my left side. I also develop bruises randomly. What could be the reason?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
Are there any issues with the platelet count? I suggest you get a bone marrow examination done which will further give clarity into the condition. I also suggest you consult a specialist as soon as possible.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
