if it is also raised and red or tender to touch it could be a blood clot and you should see a doctor asap

It could be a blood clot or a muscle spasm. It could also be compartment syndrome where the nerves, arteries and veins get compressed by the popliteus muscle and other soft tissue. You need to get it check out.
