"Dents" in leg muscles
Developing dents in muscles of lower right leg - when I rub my leg, feel like a there's a hole in muscle and it is actually visible - saw reflection in store window. . . Surprised me for sure! I very frequently have terrible cramps/burning/stinging/"electric" pains in my legs and feet. Wondering if my muscles are sort of disintegrating. Anyone else know what I am talking about?

I noticed a horizontal dent in the back of my right calf 3 days ago. It’s like a line going across my calf. I have no discomfort or pain at all. And now it seems like it’s filling in a bit but it’s still there. What’s going on?
I am so sorry to hear that you are experiencing such chronic pain constantly. I wish I had some answers for you. My only advice is never give up hope, keep searching for answers, and trust that this too shall pass.
Hello, I see this was posted in 2021. Have you had any issues since? How are you doing now?
I have a dent in my lower shin just above the ankle. It’s about 3” long and 1” high at the widest point. It looks like the muscle is disappearing. It’s always there. Not edema sounding. Weird.
I have swollen legs and feet, and an indent the size of a quarter that is very painful suddenly appeared. Sounds similar to a lot of your situations except for the pain aspect.
Have you found any reason for the dents in your calf? Is it related to the shocking sensations in your feet or toes? Thanks so much
I have dents as well. They are in my lower and upper legs and tend to run across the leg like ripples. Mayo diagnosed me with hypermobile spectrum disorder. Later I was diagnosed with lipedema. However, I don't believe this is related to either. A lot of people with lipedema also have dercums. This is what I suspect I have.
I've added more photos of what I have going on. It's more than just my legs. I have some areas that hurt really bad. Then some not at all.
I feel so sad reading the above account of Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome. I have neuropathic pain that's chronic, but I get some relief from Lyrica 75mg (pregabalin).
Surely, there is an intervention strategy to help this lady ... confused 1955....Anyone with any thoughts??
My dent is located just below the calf muscle on the left side of my left leg as it reaches the ankle, and goes up to about 2" to 3". I think it could be a circulation problem and it gets worse as the neuropathy stiffness and pain occurs . Or like you said feels like the muscle is eroding.
