Hi Bev
They would have found something out with all the tests
I think it could be a pulled mustle or tension.
Dont worry
Look after yourself.

yeah d-dimer is a blood test for clots - so presume a normal result means no clot x

Honestly, if you had a dvt for 6 weeks you would have known about it by now - the most likely cause is that it's your muscles or ligaments, particularly if the physio is helping it. Don't worry, you're doing really well!
