Your ferritin level would be helpful as well. Talk to the doctor who ordered the labs about next steps. No one here can give you personalized medical recommendations.

Given the normal serum iron level and TIBC, your iron saturation, actually transferrin saturation, is not truly high. Your muscle cramps don't seem to be causually related to iron issue.
