Does Low RBC Production Relate To Abdominal Pain During Exertion ?
My Grandsons bone marrow has a very low red blood cell production. the size of the cells are.6. His red blood cell count was only 4 two weeks ago. Dornbeckers childrens hospital in Oregon ruled out lukemia and they did a bone marrow core biophy. No miligancy found. He is a a westler and gymnist. His has displayed adominal pain when he exserts himself. Pale no color. palpations no colors in his skin.

Hi. Yes the low RBC count means less blood supply - say rather less oxygenation to the body and can give rise to pain as you have mentioned. I wonder such a boy can do wrestling and gymnastics. I would advise to stop anything that gives exertion till he is completely diagnosed and treated.
