A member asked:

I suffer from pain in my toes + knees(+reddening). my blood test show low eosinophil, low hematocrit, low mcv, low mch; high sed rate,normal vitd?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More than 1 problem: Your toe and knee are probably unrelated to your anemia, since if this was rheumatoid arthritis sufficient to lower the MCV and Hct, it would be more severe clincally. The sed rate points to an inflammatory arthritis only if it is quite high. You need your iron status evaluated and probably a rheumatology consult on your knees. No one here can tell you more. Stay proactive & good luck.
