I have this pain in my calf that I noticed when I was lying on the couch. The pain is originating from something that I think is a cyst (I may be wrong, but it seems to be coming from a lump inside my leg that I can feel when I touch). Is this something I should be concerned about like a clot? There is no visible swelling, warmth or color abnormality.

That is something you need to take up with a doctor who can examine you to determine what the lump is. A DVT or clot in the leg would be painful, swollen, red, and warm to the touch.

I had the same thing...dont be alarmed, all medical issues are different. Mine was the suspected result of a football hit i took a year or two or three before. But it would get aggravated and fill with fluid. I wound up getting an MRI, and then having minor surgery to remove it. I was on crutches for about two days. Do get it looked at though, but dont be alarmed.

I would have an xray done . It could be a deep clot or it could be just a charlie horse which will cause a lum and swelling and lots of pain. Have the xray just in case

Have a doctor check it out, they may have to cut it out. I had one removed a year ago and while it didn't hurt when they cut it, I was sore for a week afterwards since it was under some muscle...
See the doc...
