Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for reaching out to our community for help. I am sorry to hear that you are suffering.
My first thought regarding the leg pain is deep vein thrombosis. Did you have an ultrasound of your legs?
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) forms in one or more of the deep veins in your body, usually in your legs. Deep vein thrombosis can cause leg pain or swelling, but may occur without any symptoms.
A fever is a body temperature of 100.4 degrees F or greater. Was your temperature 100.4 degrees or above?
Antibiotics destroy or slow the growth of bacteria. In your case, did the physician identify the bacteria with a culture before prescribing the antibiotics.
A normal white blood cell count is between 5.0 and 10.0, so 13.9 is high. A high white blood cell count usually indicates:
An increased production of white blood cells to fight an infection
A reaction to a drug that increases white blood cell production
A disease of bone marrow, causing abnormally high production of white blood cells
An immune system disorder that increases white blood cell production
Specific causes of high white blood cell count include acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, and severe allergic reactions. to name a few.
Fatigue, fever and bone pain are associated with both acute lymphocytic and myelogenous leukemia.
I hope this information helps you decide what to do next.
