Pain in knee and calf for over a month since a trip. 3 neg ultrasound and ddimer but even the ortho i saw today suspected clot. is it even possible?

No: Even a single ultrasound is definitive, three ultrasounds are absurd. Get an MRI of the knee and calf.

Possible reasons as to why my d-dimer & hemoglobin results were slightly elevated? Sometimes, I experience leg cramps/tightness, and on some days I feel chest pain. I got a leg ultrasound which was negative for clots, as well.
