iIs frequent stiffness around my calf muscles a sign of arthritis?

My mother has been complaining of frequent stiffness around her calf muscles. It happens mainly during the mornings and just before she goes to sleep. Could it be a sign of arthritis?

Probably not, unless the knees swell up and the fluid from the knees works its way into back of the calf (Baker's Cyst).
