Can Fluttering Feeling In Calf Muscle Be Related To Blood Clot?

I have a fluttering feeling in my left calf muscle and I previously had a blood clot which led to pulminary embolism. I recently got a bruise on my left knee. I have been worried about getting a blood clot. Could the fluttering have something to do with a blood clot?

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, usually flutter occurs due to muscle contraction, and is not a sign of clot, now since you have had a history of clot, probably you would be on drugs, continue them and watch for symptoms.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
