A simple d-dimer blood test can determine a clot. that's how mine was diagnosed on my 2nd trip to ER...it was in my left leg and no symptoms other than pain in my shoulder blade and short of breath because it was breaking loose and clots were in my lungs. I was one lucky lady as first symptoms started on Saturday and it wasn't until calling 911 on Tuesday and going to the ER in an ambulance before they did the blood test as soon as I arrived..results came back really quick.
Don't wait..get it checked now.

All of a sudden the sweating stopped and I noticed my left knee was swollen. If I lean on it or touch it, causes a spasm......hot to touch. Its not going down or up, just staying the same size. What are the tell tale signs of a blood clot? Most things like feet and knees that are swollen by water tend to go up and down. Im afraid this is a clot. I hope you guys can give me some help, my family thinks Im full of shit. Ron
