Hi, is ultrasound safer than X-rays? I'm having severe pain in upper left thigh since past 3-4 months. Should I go for ultrasound to check for blood clots?

Has anyone advised you for this investigation? If not, I suggest to take a consultation so that the relevant investigation can be ordered. For suspected clots, as you have mentioned, Doppler will be the Investigation of choice.
