Does phlebitis in surface veins show up in an ultrasound?

I have had a couple of leg venous ultrasounds, which I passed with flying colors, in the past year. But recent developments -- pain goes away with higher INR, the stronger the leg muscles get, now that I have returned to exercise and PT --the less pain in my legs I feel -- All suggest that the DVT-like pain (and yes, I have had DVTs) was indeed DVTs, even though the ultrasound said I was fine.

The pain in my leg (complex also pain in my sacroilliac joint) had been ongoing for well over a year. There were times when my varicose veins were distended more then usual and ached. Those were the times I had sonograms which, I was told, were both negative for clots. But since I raised my INR from its former @ 1.8 up to 2.8 the pain in the veins has totally resolved.
