It's hard as bone. About 8 years ago I took line drive to the shin when I was pitching, and it never healed properly, so I had a lump about the size of a quarter which was just calcification. Then about 2 weeks ago I noticed it had gotten substantially bigger. Thus the various tests they are doing. I'm now waiting on results. More waiting, ughhh.
