About twice a day for about 5 seeconds at a time for the past week i have been getting this sharp pain right above my right calf. any ideas?

I would ignore it!: Any sharp pain which only lasts 5-10 seconds can not be anything of concern. It is not anything serious. It is medically hard to explain such transient pains yet we all(normal folks) occasionally get such sharp pains and learn to ignore them. Only if it is getting progressively worse should you worry about it and seek medical attention.
