A member asked:
Pain in ribs under left armpit, worsens when inhaling. had this for a year! ct scan clear although d dimer was positive! what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain ribs/armpit: Hard to tell by that brief description, truth be told, but the d-dimer test is not geared to diagnose a pulmonary embolism; in that regard, I'd presume the CT to be more accurate. You should pursue the etiology of this pain further.
