[|Human|] My dad has been hit with what looked like Iron-deficient anemia (likely from drinking too much Red Bull since 2012). He s been limping since July 2013 and sought 4 doctors to help treat it. All of them said his blood level was normal. He also went to have acupuncture but still no improvement. Desperate, he received an IV white blood corpus cell transfusion and is left weak and immobile. Having regretted taking it, my mom and I helped feed him Vitamin C and Iron-rich foods, along with natural supplements and leafy greens to aid his weakness from the IV. His feet have also been swollen since July, but has been putting his feet up to help the blood circulate. He s stuck in bed unable to walk and stand up, and it s been a week since his IV. My mom and I are worried about his condition and hoping he ll be better soon, but I m looking to see if there are other treatments to speed his recovery. Other than the methods we have tried, are there any other things we can do? Will his Vitamin C and Iron supplement consumption aid his limping and weakness from the IV? Will drinking water reduce his swollen feet?
[|AI|]  HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really sorry for your fathers' health, Limping due to anemia is not likely you may be misunderstood or misguided, for limping purpose giving vitamin supplements and practicing acupuncture will never relive the problem, here the underlying cause of limping has to be found out, orthopedic and neurologic should be considered for this, different imaging study is required, like x-ray and MRI nerve conduction study, then, and then it can be cleared, If I would be your Doctor then I would definitely ask for the same test, take good care of your father and have good day.
