High white blood count

Can coming off of hydrocodone  make your white blood count go to 16000 or 17000?

Pain is below left rib area and it gets intense enough to go to chest and right through to my back. They always admit me for diverticulitis but I have heard from others that its a lot lower but just as painful. They usually admit me for 3 days. I just got out again, today. After being there for 6 days. I have been to the emergency room 6 times in 3 months.
I have had numerous blood work done. I have in the past 2 months had a endoscopy ultrasound and a colonoscopy and a stomach dump test. I'm still waiting the results from a 24 hour urine test and a jak 2 blood test. All of the other tests come back good.

What or where is the pain that you are experiencing?  How long does it take for the white count to decrease after the antibiotics?  And are you saying that twice a month you are going through this? Which tests have come back good?  I can understand some frustration over that one......

This has been going on for 6 months now. I go about two weeks without hydro, and the pain gets so bad I end up in the emergency room and they put me on loritab (hydro) and give me an I.V. of antibiotics until my white blood count goes down. Then they send me home with hydro prescriptions. I have had a bunch of different medical tests done in the past 6 months but every one comes back good. I'm just dumbfounded and frustrated over all of this.
Thanks for responding so quickly.
