Get reoccurring pain in calf,lasts 3/4 days then goes away.gradually becomes more painful esp when walking,not sudden onset pain. sometimes bruises?

Could be Serious...: Although your symptoms are not totally classic for deep vein phlebitis, they are close enough to warrant an immediate evaluation of such. A hands on exam and perhaps a test or two would either affirm or rule out the possibility of a potentially very serious condition. This is one of those times where the wait and see approach is not recommended.
