Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having pain in leg and calcium build up on x ray. There are many possibilities such as callus formation after injury, myositis ossificans and even bone tumour. I need to see x ray and clinical examination . For pain relief you need to take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and vitamin C is helpful in recovery. Keeping the limb elevated on pillow will be of help reducing swelling. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
