Sharp pain in back of lower calf that comes and goes but doesn't last long but is intense. could this be a bloodclot should i seek immediate attention?

Needs attention: Although not necessarily a blood clot, it needs to be proven that it is not. The medical field usually looks for the dangerous even if not highly likely. An ED would probably get an ultrasound. Your family doctor would also be able to order the same test.
