A member asked:
Pain in calf when i flex goot. have had high earth rate also, but neg ddimer. should i still worry about a blood clot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. This test: as with any test, is most helpful when it is positive. False negatives can happen. Go back to your doctor to see whether a duplex scan is advisable, especially if you have other risk factors such as birth control pills, smoking, or prolonged sedentary position.
