What Causes Spasms Near Indentation In The Leg Muscle?

my wife has an indentation on her left thigh muscle. It has gotten worse and has been there for 6 mths. It is 3 in long and depresses about 1/4 inch. She is 33 and works in retail. The last 3 days, her leg has started to have spasms. She has chronic fatigue and a family history of diabetes. She is starting to worry about it. Any thoughts. thank you

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The indentation in the leg muscle is seen due to a tear in the muscle fibers or separation fro the bone. This can happen due to repeated stress. Rest and pain killers will help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
