I get severe pain in my upper lateral calf when walking up hill or fast on level ground. it fades quickly when resting and no pain walking up hill.

Calf pain: You don't give your age but this sounds like vascular Claudication. You might have spasming arteries in leg when exerted that relax at rest. This is by definition vascular Claudication.
