I've had sudden on and off pain in my left calf, not cramping, just sudden unbearable pain. it goes away within a minute. when should i see a doctor?

Cramp: Muscle cramps are painful and if they occur frequently in different muscle groups, get tested for deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, sodium or potassium. Otherwise prevent cramping by stretching your calves especially before going to bed.
