    Jessica, This isn't personal, but please let me tell you a little about those trained in the medical field. Responsible people don't give advice over the internet to someone they know nothing about, medically.

    We can provide information, generally. Not specific diagnosis. What do you think your own doctor would tell you if you called him or her on the phone and asked that question? And, that's YOUR doctor....who knows you.

    My advice is to ask your doctor. I am sure before your doctor gives you advice he or she will want to examine you. As I said, this is the responsible thing to do, medically. No one gives advice on such a serious subject as DVT without examining a patient, first.

    I hope you are in good health and that you get your pain resolved soon. Best wishes.

    Here's are some good links on just what D-Dimer test is all about. ... agree that a negative D-dimer is most valid and useful when the test is done on patients
    When is it ordered?
    D-dimer may be ordered when a patient has symptoms of DVT, such as leg pain, tenderness, swelling, discoloration, edema; or symptoms of PE, such as labored breathing, coughing, and lung-related chest pain. D-dimer is especially useful when the doctor thinks that something other than DVT or PE is causing the symptoms. It is a quick, non-invasive way for the doctor to help rule out abnormal or excess clotting.
