Exercise your lower extremities, apply local heat and drink fluids. If the symptoms do not resolve or if the symptoms are associated with swelling, shortness of breath or dizziness, please see the Emergency Department. A DVT may be ruled out and an imaging test ordered by your PCP. Since you describe achiness and leg cramps, muscular inflammation is one possible cause.

I have a grape size hard(ish) lump at the top of my calf muscle, just below the knee. It hurts to walk on, and clicks when I go upstairs. DVT?

Left calf pain and cramping pretty bad. Feels like tight muscles and there is pain with walking. Not excruciating but there is some discomfort putting weight on my leg while walking and standing. Should I be concerned? No injury to the leg. DVT?
