What Causes Huge Indents On The Thighs?

So this recently just happend me and my cousins are sitting down playing Yahtzee and I have both my legs to one side one on top of another and I put my leg straight and seen an indent that looked like a giant dimple and I though it was because it was te way I wa sitting time passed as I was up walking around an it s still there?? Sat back like I was for just a few seconds and boom another one shows up right next to it. I started getting freaked out and thought it was there because I was flexing my leg and no I left it loose and hanging and there there. So I pushed on it tried to run it out thinking it was a crap and I ended up making another dimple they are all in a row what the heck it going on!!!

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
Indentation can be due to edema over leg.
This can be dependent swelling due to long time sitting.
Nothing to worry ,take proper rest.

Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing.
Keep limb elevated to reduce edema.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
