Fibrositic nodule: This can be a fibrositic nodule from intense muscle spasms that may have hardened and may have become fibrosed and then get calcified. This happens when the muscle is overloaded with nerve irritation. These nodules are commonly noted in patients with myofascial pain or discomfort.

Check with your doc: Better be safe. Should be checked although it is most likely nothing to worry about.
