past year have suffered from severe leg cramps
If the cramps are in your calfs and the pain increases as you walk, there is a very high percentage outcome that those cramps are caused by a DVT.

Quote:
Symptoms of DVT (deep vein thrombosis)
throbbing pain in 1 leg (rarely both legs), usually in the calf or thigh, when walking or standing up.
swelling in 1 leg (rarely both legs)
warm skin around the painful area.
red or darkened skin around the painful area – this may be harder to see on brown or black skin.
