A member asked:

I am suffering from lower back pain and have a high white blood cell count. what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I am not sure: Back pain and high white blood count mean a lot of things, infection in some place in the body , blood disorders, so the best thing to do to check it out with your doctor.
