Hi, recently i have noticed that the lower rear / side muscles on my lower leg look a bit strange , sometimes it looks a little indented and a strange shape.

The leg muscle itself i would say feels pretty firm but not sure if that's related or just them muscles often feel pretty firm?

I have taken a picture of each leg to show.

I am really not sure what it is, I am on the heavier side so not sure if it's that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes it does look strange. Are you sure you are not pressing these parts of your legs against something for a large part of the day? Something you do without thinking,maybe as part of your job?

    I can see that you seem to carrying some fluid build up on your lower legs, maybe because of your overall weight. The dents seem to be impressions in the fluid. Maybe if you lose some weight these dents will go away. They dont seem to be following the line of muscle. Do you wear anything tight on your lower legs? Tight socks can make dents but these dont look like sock indentations.

    If these get worse do see your doctor. sorry i cant be more help.
