A member asked:

Went into er cause thought i had blood clot n left leg due to pain n doc looked at it felt my pulse did lil exam n said no blood clot that i was ok?

May need more: It is difficult to exclude a blood clot just by exam. The approach should involve asking about risk factors (e.g. birth control pills, recent surgery, cancer) and considering a blood test called d-dimer. In some cases, a venous doppler ultrasound is also warranted.
