Can cramps in the legs be a sign of a blood clot?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Could be.: Risk factors for a blood clot in the leg include a large, swollen leg or calf, recent surgery or immobilization, having active cancer, or a blood clot in the past. If all you're having are cramps, especially if it's happening in both legs, it's most likely not a blood clot.

Possible: If in one leg - yes, if cramps are in both legs it is still possible but not likely.
