Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!

Calf pain. : From your symptoms it sounds as if this is a muscular problem. However, the only way to prove what’s going on is to do a venous duplex ultrasound. My feeling is that it is always important to rule out the most significant problem which would be a DVT and this can easily be determined by an ultrasound.
