STILL COULD BE DVT: Negative d dimer does not in my book rule out dvt if the symptoms very suggestive you need to have a venous doppler if doppler is negative you treat for the other possibilities and some of them could be a superficial phlebitis if the redness associated with swelling and if there any possible history of dm consider lymphadenitis if perisitent see your pcp or see a vascular surgeon if possible.

Many possibilities: Some causes of swelling of the legs can include systemic problems such as hypertension, and problems with the kidneys and localized issues such as arthritis, infection, lymphatic obstruction, blood clots, varicose veins, trauma (fracture, sprain, tendonitis) and side effects to medication. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
