Brief Answer:
Yes, there can be a clot.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.

Yes, it is very well possible to have a clot.

As the pain was sufficient enough to wake you up with intense pain and is causing trouble walking, I would advise such a patient to undergo an urgent Color doppler study of the affected whole lower limb.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
