A member asked:

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?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I consider you at high risk for a DVT and I don't think a negative d dimer is adequate to exclude one. I strongly recommend an ultrasound study of your legs for reassurance in view of leg pain following a long flight.
