Could Pain And Skin Tightening In The Back Of Leg Indicate Blood Clot?

I have had a pain in the back of my lower leg when I walk on it. The other day after standing and walking on it for about 30 minutes i felt tightening of my skin and noticed a little swelling. Could this be a blood clot? I have working at a job for a year in which I sit all day and I m concerned about this.
