Get to the doctor: The most common cause of calf swelling on just 1 side is and venous clot or DVT. This is serious.

Be seen: There are multiple potential causes, including a bakers cyst of the knee which can cause similar symptoms. Because having a deep vein thrombosis is a possibility and can potentially be life threatening, you need to be seen and have this ruled out immediately.
