Respected User , hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*Calf pain may be due to excess strain causing muscular ache or following
some compression not necessarily every pain is related to blood clot.
*Confirmation of clot in vein can be done by - Doppler ultrasonography -
Venous Angiography.
Hope this clears your query.
