Does that calf look noticeably more swollen than the other one?
Is it red and hot to the touch?

Those were some of the things that my doctor looked for when I thought I had a clot. I didn't end up having one, of course. But I did get an insanely bad cramp in my calf which lasted quite a long time and turned out to be nothing. :hugs:
