Symptoms

[HMTTC]

Hi.

I have been back and forward to the doctors since December. Had lots of blood tests and all come back ok apart from ESR of 50.
I’ve had numbness/pins and needles in my right foot, hip aches, lower back ache, dizziness on and off, itchy skin and now shoulder aches.

im annoying myself talking about it all the time but I feel I’m not getting anywhere. Has anyone had similar that can share their experience/diagnosis?

google clearly tells me it’s cancer which has been such a worry. It’s kind of ruining my life now.

thanks for any help.

Have you had B12 levels checked? They cause a lot of the symptoms you have and B12 deficiency is associated with inflammation, which would explain your ESR result.
B12 levels are set ridiculously low in the U.K. but my local lab have just increased their reference range so more people in our area are being diagnosed.

Thanks for getting back! My b12 is 298 and my ferritin level is 12.

Then both are deficient. Time to do some reading and then go back and tackle your GP again.
