So here is my story. For over a month I have had knee and calf pain in my left leg. I had 2 ultrasounds of the leg and one ct scan of my chest as well as a d-dimer 2 weeks ago and they all came out fine.
Then I took two 17 bus trips and the pain got worse. Since I already had the tests, my doctor refuses to do them again even though I have traveled and I know that's a risk for DVT.
Today I had an MRI and now I feel like I'm having trouble getting enough air. Unfortunately, whenever I go to the ER the doctors literally look at me tell me I'm young and healthy and send me home. My PCP is even at the end of his rope with me. He told me there was nothing else he could do and sent me home.
Should I try to go to a different ER? There's not one really close to me, but I'm scared that it could really be a DVT and PE and I know how dangerous that is. Especially since reading up on how often it is misdiagnosed.
