Answer 1

The only way to know for sure what is going on (even though yes clots could be one possibility) is to get in to your dr to have them evaluate the situation further to see what they think is causing this pain.

Answer 2

Go to your doctor! He/She will you give you the best advice.

From your description it sounds like cramp of you calf muscles. To stop cramp you need to drink plenty or water, have a healthy amount of salt and potassium (bananas are helpful for this). Also make sure you are warming up and cooling down properly.
