Many possible causes: Some causes of increased warmth can include overuse, cellulitis, lymphatic obstruction, blood clots, varicose veins and trauma. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.

Not Usually: Most clots are characterized by pain in the back of the calf upon pressure. They usually present with unilateral swelling meaning one leg more than the other with pain. This could be a sign of infection. The best way to diagnose the clock is by an ultrasound or venogram.
