"Dents" in leg muscles

Hi @rubie did you ever get an answer to what was causing your issue? I’m experiencing something that sounds similar and so far the doc has not been able to find an answer

Are the indentations going across the leg or up and down? Are the indentations only in your thighs? Most reasons for thigh indentations are of little consequence. A visit to your doctor would help put your mind at ease and confirm what it really is. If you answer the questions, I can help some more with possibilities.

I have indented lines across both of my upper thighs. This post came up when I was searching trying to find out why they are there. Are you familiar with this?

I also popped into this conversation. I DO have problems with gait. I would fall but I always manage to fall into things or grab onto others. Also I went from 168 to 89lbs in 18 months without change in eating. But was diagnosed with celiac disease and have gained back 19lbs. Prior to April 10 2017 I had sciatica, scoliosis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis. Then I woke up on the 10th and had lost the use of my right hand and the pain felt like my hand was in boiling water. 10 days later I woke up with the same thing in my left hand. 1st neurologist said PARSONAGE TURNER SYSNDROME and said she would send a letter to my family Dr. When I went to see family Dr. Her words exactly were. I have never heard of this disease YOU WILL HAVE TO GOOGLE IT. I did, it didn't sound like my symptoms. 48 hours after the test where they poke you full of holes I had a heart attack at home whilst having a BM. 2nd neurologist said no it couldn't be PTS. he said was MONO NEURITIS MULTIPLEX. MNM family Dr said. SAME DEAL YOU WILL HAVE TO GOOGLE IT. SAME DEAL it didn't sound like my symptoms.
I went back to my old family Dr. He's not likely to tell me to Google it. He sent me to a different neurologist, the 3rd. When we got there she had gone through all the previous tests done by the others. She had made herself totally knowledgeable of my symptoms. She was what you hope for in a Dr. However yes you guessed it 3rd diagnosis. CHRONIC REGIONAL PAIN SYSNDROME. She explained every detail, no waiting to get results from family Dr. However the news was not good. It is nicknamed the suicide disease. There is no cure and no treatment. Just 24/7 pain. I am on gabapentine. I didn't think it worked until I miss a dose. Also long acting diladid and 2mg fast acting for break through pain. They don't work either. So I cry out in pain I scream in pain. My best friend is sleep and I'm very fortunate that my evening meds do their job and I sleep well. Then I wake up. It's still there. It will always be there. I will never have anything to look forward to again. I'm only 64. I worked all my life now I've lost that. My husband is drifting farther and farther away. I have zero quality of life. I know why it's nicknamed the suicide disease because I fantasize about not waking up. Having a massive heart attack. Because my death is not imminent I'm not eligible for MAID. The thought of living like this for another 2 weeks is hell but 20 years. Will not happen. I will be a statistic. Part of the over 60% that choose to end their life. I pray no one on here has this horrible disease. It breaks my heart that children can get this disease.

My girlfriend noticed this indent in her upper thigh yesterday. She has an appointment to see a doctor Monday but was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what this could possibly be. It’s not sore to the touch and there is no bruising. She isn't on any steroid shots.

Hi,

I know the post is dated from 2022 but I just saw the same thing in my thigh and in one of my calf. No pain associated with those indents.
I'd like to know if someone has an answer or got a diagnostic from a doctor.
Thanks

I have dents in both calf muscles, mid-calf. I have attributed it to where most of my socks have the most elasticity and have caused a permanent indent. I have lymphodema, and when I cross my legs; ie to tie my shoelaces, I get a more temporary one at the ankle where the ankle sits on my thigh. I haven't given it much thought just as a mild curiosity.
