Can anyone tell if I'm anemic or not? I've got a gastroscopy scheduled in two weeks, so I'm wondering if these numbers suggest some kind of bleeding ulcer might be the culprit?

erythrocytes * 4.89 ( o ) 10e12/L 4.34 - 5.72
(vK) hemoglobin * 155 ( o ) g/L m 138 - 175
(vK) hematocrit * 0.437 (o ) 0.415 - 0.530
(vK) MCV * 89.4 ( o ) fL 83.0 - 97.0

Honestly, my calves are probably overdeveloped anyway since I’ve spent years grinding through heavy weighted runs every single day. Now I'm mostly just running bodyweight. There's a nasty bruise and some pretty bad swelling, but it is what it is.
What’s your take on all this?

Update: those two weeks have passed. It still feels tight and I'm limping a bit, but things are way better. The heparin helped quite a bit. Now I just need to work on mobility; doctor thinks I can get back to running in another two weeks. The bruise is still there, just fading out.
