Can Blood Clot Cause Leg Pain With Negative D Dimer Test?
Ok heres my story-
three days ago I went to the ER with chest pains, and leg pains. They did an xray and a D Dimer test and both were fine. Well the next day my right thigh started hurting. In my inner thigh near my private :) and down my inner thigh, also it kind of moves around to the front of my thigh. Should I be worried about a blood clot if I had a negative D Dimer test?? I guess im being a little paranoid and would really love some reassurance
thank you!

Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.
Not likely blood clot since in these cases,leg usually hurts lower in calf and foot. Also,leg would be pale ,cold and tingles would be present. Also,D-dimers are pretty accurate when we talk about clots. So your pain are probably sign of something else such as neuromuscular issue or tendinitis.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
