Nothing like starting a thread off with a big twenty-five cent word-LOL! I like that!
I have Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bones) and several of my fractures have healed with a large bone callous...usually they go down (the body eventually absorbs them I think) with town but I've also known some people with ossification that has caused joint blockage and limited mobility. I'm not sure there's much else you can do other than surgery and/or waiting to see if it goes down.....good luck.
