They did a D-Dimer at the hospital which was somewhat elevated so that is why they did a cat scan of my chest and they also did a D-Doppler of my legs to check for clots. Everything came back normal.

Shari, What type of CT scan did they do for your lungs ? Was there a contrast dye injected in by IV ? I have a genetic blood clotting disease and have had a DVT and a PE and many of the symptoms you are describing sound like the PE I had. Its a deep ache that burns into your bone. Hard to explain. I am not a dr and don't want to alarm you but you should know. The hospital did my CT scan wrong - and the Lung Dr was absolutely livid after ... somehow I survived but ...take care... cos I have been told that I have to make a big fuss at the hospital if they ever try to do the wrong CT on me in ER like this again.
