ER-STAT: You may have thrombophlebitis- quite a common presentation: have somneone drive you directly to the ER:NOW! If there is a clot in your leg it can go to your lungs, heart or brain.

Yes: In particular if it is affecting just one calf and not the other. A blood clot in a deep vein is the main concern, so yes.
