What Could Cause Right Calf Pain?

Hi, I have had this issue occur 4 times on me in the past year. Most recent this past Saturday. I was running in a Half marathon and I got a pain in my right calf deep below the muscle. I was running at 8 min mile pace at the time, and after that I could only run around 11 min miles. The pain was more painful either going uphill or downhill. Wasn t as bad on flat ground. This has happen to me 4 times on mostly long runs. After 10 days or so of RICE treatment it is ok. The it pop up again when I race again. My gen doctor said I need to see a Vein Specialist but they said that although I do have issue from my vein that is was probably more orthopedic that vein pain.
