Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
A painful bruise/lump on the calf muscles could be caused by many medical conditions some of which are: an abscess, a cyst, soft tissue infection like cellulitis or myositis.It may as well be a thromboembolic problem though rare given your description .I will suggest you take pain medications like ibuprofen and have the place examined by your Doctor if no improvement.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
