CalfOfOne1/2dozOther: Usually there is some swelling and if you press on the calf it may be tender and you may feel a rubbery cord.Usually (but not always) there is some underlying reason to get the clot, like recent injury,or sitting a long time in the car or on a plane ride,or you have a medical problem like infection or cancer that makes you more likely to clot. You could wait if it stays the same, but not if worse.
