Possibility of DVT

I have had calf pain in my right leg for over 2 months. It comes and goes throughout the day but it is painful everyday. There is no swelling or redness however, it does hurt to squeeze. It feels really sore and sometimes it spreads from groin to my buttox and down the back of my thigh. It hurts when I walk sometimes but most of the time it feels better if I am standing or walking. I have had 4 ultrasounds on it, a D-dimer test, and a CT scan of the chest just to be sure there wasn't a PE which all turned out negative. I know these tests are pretty accurate but I am nervous the clot is being missed because I can't think of another reason why it hurts for this long almost all the time and only in one leg. I am not an active person at all and not a particularly healthy eater .. I work from home and spend most of my time sitting which makes me nervous because I know being stationary for too long can cause blood clots. I'm wondering what I should do and if this could be a blood clot all the Drs I have seen don't think it is but I know this is potentially life threatening and I fear it has already gone on too long. Just looking for some guidance!!

hello. If you had a DVT you would know it.you couldn't stand on the leg..to find a deep clot you have to have a ultra sound.it goes deep..in 2000 I had a whole leg full 1 was 9" long it broke off went to my lung, I was lucky called a P.E. im on a blood thinner for life..I had 2 negative liver blood proteins..ok you say your doctor don't think so..there blowing you off.. cause if you even ,I mean even expect you may have one. Find a medical doctor that don't guess. Have a full ultra sound done. This way you will know!!..I don't understand your reason to keep looking if you have already had all these tests'  didn't see that you had a ultrasound my bad!! with all these test I don't know what to say.exepct get a medical doctor  that don't play games.
