I am a 30f first documented slightly elevated platelet count on blood work (on MyChart) is from 2004 when I was 8 years old. Since then they have never came down below 400.

11/25 497

08/26 455

(All blood test I have available on MyChart)

I know, I know they are only slightly elevated and they can be muuuuuch much higher.

With this amazing Dr that has been listening to me and actually trying to help me I have had a low ferritin of 11. Since finding this out I took a daily iron supplement and have gotten my ferritin up to 80 as of August 13, 2026.

When I brought the concern of my slightly elevated platelets to this Dr she ran my ESR and CRP.

ESR:

06/26 8

08/26 12

CRP:

09/04 4

06/26 5

08/26 6

Some slight inflammation but you should know I am obese. Since finding out my iron reserves are restored and all though I have some slight inflammation going on somewhere.

My question and the reason I am posting on here is, is my request to be referred to a Haematologist warented?? Or am I being overly concerned and nothing to worry about?? I feel after 22 years if there was a problem I would be feeling it by now but being an obese 30 year old I would like to protect myself of possible blood clots in the future!

Thanks for reading and sharing any insite! 🖤

"There is an abnormal small (Approximately 1.4 x 0.2 x 0.6 LONG x AP x TRV) hyperechoic lesion in the superficial right axillery soft tissue. There is some incresed echogenicity and vascularity in subcutaneous fat surrounding the soft tissue lesion. Unclear exact etiology of the lesion, feasibly representing fat necrosis (with old hematoma at the cental portion of it) however, other etiologies are not excluded from the differential"

Sounds like I may have cut myself shaving and it's nothing to be worried about??
