<s>[INST] Evening doctor my partner had a discectomy l4/5 3 weeks ago. she is experiencing severe pain, her blood test results came with low rbc count and high levels of both ESR at 80mm/hr AND CRP at 43 mg/l. she wekas discharged from hospital with no antibiotics prescribed which has really surprised me!. My question is , would she need to be admitted to hospital ? and for how long? would she have antibiotics prescribed? ps her wbc and platelet counts are both normal. thanks very much [/INST] hiThanks for your queryi can feel your concernslow RBC can be due to anaemiaanaemia can be due to blood loss or poor dietary habitsi advise to take iron supplements after consulting doctorESR AND CRP are indicators of chronic inflammation may be raised due to disc problemshe doesnot need admission or antibioticsgive her a strong painkiller after consulting doctorwishing her a speedy recoveryHope i have ansewered your queryi am available for your help regardsDr.imran </s>
