What Does An Indentation Near The Shin Bone Indicate?
I was lotioning after my shower and noticed that the muscle left of my shin bone is indented. There is a 3 inch indentation about 1/2 way between my knee and ankle. I ve never had this to happen before and I m a tad concerned. Could you shed a little light on what the problem may be, please?

Hi,
Indentation near shin bone can be due to a fracture.
Would advise you to do a bone scan.
Also take analgesics.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
