A member asked:

Having pain and heaviness in left leg. d dimer came back high (.55) and then normal (.33) should i still worry about dvt?

No: A normal D dimer is a strong evidence against DVT.

I came back from an 8-hour flight 2 weeks ago, a month after we took our departing flight of 8 hours. My left leg (thigh and calf) hurt but D-DIMER is negative. No swelling, no warmth, etc. I have two small bruises. Could this be DVT? Muscular pain?
