Not calcium: Xrays really only look at osseous (=bony / calcium containing) structures. So what you see & feel is likely swelling in the soft tissues--bruising, tendon or muscle tear damage, local inflammation, etc. If persists and need to know more, MRI better visualizes the soft tissues. Sometimes needle aspiration done. Discuss w/your dr to make plan for next action.
