What Causes Stabbing Pain In The Calf Muscle?

I was walking up steps and suddenly I got a sharp, stabbing pain in the back of my calf muscle. It hurts more when I put weight on it. I am icing it and elevating it, but it is pretty constant. Should I be worried about a blood clot or a pulled muscle or tendon? What should I do?
