Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain/cramps On Leg

I have a sharp piercing pain on the right leg about 3 inches below my knee on the outside. I get leg cramps and have a very bad knee but this is different. It sometimes wakes me up at night and it hurts constantly whether I am standing, sitting or moving. I often wonder if it is a blood clot or something like that. Should I be concerned, if I see a doctor what test should I ask for
