A member asked:
Soreness under left shoulder blade and ribcage. had leg pain for over a month. negative ddimer, but could this still be a pulmonary embolism?

Not likely: A normal (or negative) D-dimer means that it is very unlikely that you have any abnormal clotting. It's not 100% though. It may be worthwhile to have yourself checked out though. A simple ultrasound of the leg to rule out any deep vein thrombosis would be a good start.
