Hello Steph,
You may have chipped a piece of bone off and it remained in the skin and eventually was walled off. Either that or you have a blood clot coming from a fracture of the tibia. These are two possibilies and I'm sure there are others. It's difficult for me to determine what happened since i can't see you or give you a physical exam. The next time you go to the doctor, have the doctor take a look and if necessary he/she can do an X-ray to see exactly what is in there. At the moment you're not having any problems so all is well. A lot of people have embbeded material in their skin and even deep in tissue. I have friend from Europe who has a piece of metal inbedded inside one of his sinuses. He is retired now but he worked as a machinest. No doubt a piece of metal embedded itself a long time ago but nothing has come of it. It always shows up on his X-rays.
