I'm surprised the hospital never done a d-dimer as they can get an almost instant result. This would have saved you weeks of worry and stress. I've got a feeling it will be negative. I hope so and you can try and start getting on with your life - you've had a heck of a time of it recently.

One of my son's had it done. They took a blood sample from his stomach. His was positive but it also does this if you have pneumonia, which he had.

That's where they took his from. He said it wasn't too bad. Got results right away. Don't worry. They are doing everything for you. I'm sure it will be negative and then you can try and start to relax. You must be worn out. Let us know how you get on.

No I'm not on msn or facebook. Just try and make up your mind that you are going to get out of this vicious circle of worrying and think about the future. You say you are going to plan your wedding. Why don't you make a start and write everything down you need to plan and book and it might help lift your mind. It's maybe all getting on top of you.

Maj

Yes, this definitely means no clots. That's great news. Try and concentrate on the future. If you are still in pain then take regular pain relief and try and distract yourself when you start to think negatively. You can do it.

I had a d dimer done a few weeks back, it was high and they gave me anti coag stuff. Had CT scan to check for clots - non there.

D Dimer isnt just for clots, it will be high if there are other infections etc. Its not wholey indicative of clotting.
