Check for a clot: If the calf is warmer than the other side, with some redness and swelling, it might indicate a clot that needs to be assessed and looked at by your doctor .

Could be DVT: Could be a few things and the concerning thing would be a DVT or a clot. Other possibilities include a cramp, spasm, or a muscle strain. See you doctor for a simple blood test to exclude the bad stuff.

Hello, I want to figure out if this is a problem that needs to be checked out. During this weekend we took a road trip, each leg driving was about 6hrs and the ride back took us about 13hrs. Each time after some time riding in the car I feel bladder pain.
