Low wbc and platelets, fatigue, hip replacement w/rod in femur(new, deep pain in that femur), joint pain, headaches, what's going on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually due to : Infection or adverse effect of medication. There are obviously many possibilities. Sepsis should be evaluated for in someone with low wbc, low plt, new pain at site of hardware, & systemic symptoms (headache/fatigue). It could be very serious and life threatening.
