What Does Severe Pain On The Right Calf Indicate?

Hello, I have been experiencing a deep throbbing pain in the back of my right calf. I notice no swelling , redness or warmth to the area, but I m having trouble getting relief from the pain. I ve been taking 2 Tylenol Arthritis formula every 8 hours. On January 31st I flew from Houston to Canada for a funeral. I wore compression stockings for the trip and didn t start noticing these symptoms until this past Friday night--1 week after I d returned. I am a female, 64 years old, and I m taking HRT. I have high blood pressure which is treated with mediacation, and while I am overweight, I have recently lost about 20lbs. I ve said all of this to ask: Do you think it s DVT and should I seek medical attention?
