What Causes Severe Pain On The Right Calf?

Yes, please. I am a 60 year old healthy female. Last night after I got into bed, I had excruciating pain on the outside of my right calf, stemming from my ankle and going up. I grabbed my leg, I tried rubbing it, flexing my foot, but it was worse than labor. It last about 8 minutes and then it was gone as quickly as it came on. About 5 minutes went by and it was back again lasting about 5 - 8 minutes. When it was gone, I didn t experience it any more during the night. This is actually the second time I ve had this happen. The first time was several months ago. I have no swelling, no discoloration of my skin, no injury, but the pain was so intense, I made me scream out loud. I thought it might have been a blood clot, but everything I read doesn t really describe what I experienced. Any thoughts?
