Hi all
My nightmare has come true. I went to a&e today feeling short of breath and pain in chest.they did a d dimer blood test to check for clots and it was.354. This is 54 over the threshold. They did a lung scan which was normal and sent me home.
BUT I didnt remember to tell them that my leg has been hurting for. Days. Since saturday. Its been pulling on my inner thigh and I have pain in my hip and inner groin. I put this down to sciatica but now the whole thigh hurts. Theres no swelling or redness. Im so scared I have a dvt im scared. What do.i do? How do.i.know if this is sciatica or dvt and the d dimer is saying a do have the clot?
