Very Very Unlikely: You have had two ultrasound exams and 2 d dimers and oth negative.I think DVT has been ruled out not ince but twicethere may be some other cause of your leg pain.Discuss with your doctor and follow with his/her advice dvt will not be missed on two tests. It is highly likely that your leg pain is from dvt.
