Experiencing pain in the calf, can be a sign of tendinitis, blood clots, calf muscle strain or rupture, and leg cramps. Because a blood clot can be serious, a person should see a doctor if experiencing this symptom.

Having pain in the calves sounds more like a muscular problem rather then one involving Arthritis. If this problem is constant I would suggest that you see your doctor. If here is an arthritis connection (and there is that possibility) you should have it treated as soon as possible in order to avoid as much joint damage as possible.
