A member asked:
Low prob for clots, ddimer neg, dr thinks numbness from knee into foot, slight ache in inner thigh is pinched nerve. is ddimer secure test for clots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
D dimer - screening: D dimer is only a screening test . Confirmation of a blood clot should be done through a doppler ultrasound. Discuss with your doctor if he would consider ordering a doppler ultrasound of the lower extremity that is affected.
