DVT: A DVT could be possible but not likely given the negative d-dimer. Many things can cause pain. I would recommend evaluation by your primary care physician or an orthopedic surgeon.

Stress Injury?: Dvt unlikely with negative ddimer. You may need other tests - xrays, bone scan or mri, depending on what your clinical findings are.
