D-dimer of 5.0 is significantly elevated, but D-dimer can be raised after recent trauma/fracture and does not by itself confirm DVT. However, calf pain occurring 2 weeks after a fibular avulsion injury warrants urgent exclusion of deep vein thrombosis.
Since you have mild Hemophilia A (Factor VIII deficiency), anticoagulation decisions are more complex and should be made jointly with a hematologist if DVT is confirmed.
My advice:
• Proceed with the scheduled venous Doppler ultrasound urgently (earlier if possible).
• Seek immediate medical attention if you develop increasing leg swelling, chest pain, shortness of breath, or coughing blood.
• Until Doppler is performed, maintain hydration and avoid prolonged immobility.
• Do not start or stop anticoagulants without specialist review.
If the Doppler confirms DVT, treatment is still possible in patients with hemophilia, often with factor replacement support and close hematology supervision.
