Rock hard Bruise - Calcium Deposits

I got a bruise on my palm on a climbing trip over Thanksgiving. Climbed on it a week straight after it happened, a few days were just crack climbing (real smart I know); but it did not bruise until I got home a week after it happened. Then climbed another week on it before X-mas.
Then hit it on the ice in the same spot slipping on my driveway.
Now it has turned into a hard little lump in my hand. It may become a calcium deposit. Getting Ultrasound and Massage for it. Might get acupuncture to break it down.
It feels like a peanut under the skin.
Anyone had this before?
Any advise

Ankles and fingers. They don't seem to go away very well. I actually had 3 removed from my left ankle during a scope.
I have heard (not confirmed) that they can come back over time.

It sounds like it could be a ganglion cyst, or a calcium deposit. You might get it checked out by a doctor to find out for sure. Often ganglion cysts go away on their own, or 'pop' and drain when you're moving a bookcase or something heavy. I wouldn't suggest surgically removing it unless it's really bothering you. If it's a calcium deposit, that can be broken up over time by deep tissue massage/ultrasound. Best of luck.

They can come back over time. My friend has them growing in his right shoulderblade.he had them surgically removed a little over a year and a half ago. He is going in on the 26th to get it removed again.

Thanks for the input. Right now deep tissue massage and ice is making it go away.I hope. It can't heal till the swelling goes down. Just like with trauma.

If it turns out to be a ganglion cyst, you can always try the 'thumping" removal method:

could also be miositis ossificans.. which is a calcium build up from a contusion.

hard to tell online so if it is bothering you then you should probably go see a doctor.
