"Dents" in leg muscles

I got hit by a blade from a sled going downhill when I was young..about 20 years ago. I remember it being so painful that I could barely walk on it. I do not remember receiving any treatment for it. Here it is many years later and I still have a dent in my leg..can see it more when muscle is flexed. Any ideas why this is still here? I feel there is a lump or weird muscle formation around it...not really sore though.

Hello @melmes78, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. I've had some similar dents near the shin on the inside of my legs. My primary care doc thought they may be pitting edema at the time. A few years later I was diagnosed with lymphedema and now wear compression socks as a treatment. I think only a doctor can really give you an answer. Here is some information that you may find helpful until other members can share their experience.

You mentioned it was really painful at the time the trauma to the leg happened and you could barely walk. Do think it still is affecting the way you walk?
