I'm looking at my blood work results and I'm curious about my white blood cell count, which is 13.3, and my neutrophils are at 75.4 with lymphocytes at 17.8. I don't have any symptoms, but I've been taking Topamax for my headaches. Should I be worried about these numbers?

I'm really worried about my mom's condition. She's been having this burning sensation in both her legs, and despite visiting several doctors, we're still not sure what's going on. We've heard it could be related to the sciatica nerve, varicose veins, or even complications from the hip replacement surgery she had five years ago. Could you help us figure out the exact cause?
