hole/dent on my thigh :O
Hi!
So something weird is happening to my thigh and I was wondering if it has happened to anyone else or if anyone knows what it is. I don't know if it has something to do with it, but Sunday I inverted for the first time, and that evening, I noticed there was a 3-4 inch long (horizonal across the right quad) and about an inch wide "hole" on my leg. I have never injured the leg and it does not hurt. Nor have I lost any strength in it. You can see the dent while standing…and it can drastically be felt when running a hand down the leg. It is about 1/3rd of the way down the quad from the hip. I called health center and they had no idea what it could be. Weird right? And it's kind of ugly. Any ideas what it could be?

I have had this happen to me twice. Once on my lower leg on the side of my calf, and a current one on the outside of my left thigh. My doctor told me that it is from trauma. You don't neccessarily feel it happen. It can be from repeated trauma to the same spot. He said it is actually "killed off" fat cells. It could be that this particular spot on your leg gets a lot of pole action and it is damaging those fat cells, eventually "killing" them. Since the ones around the area are still okay, this causes a depression. The good news is that eventually the fat cell redistribute and the depression goes away. The one on my calf took about 2 years to go away completely since there isn't a lot of fat there. The one on my thigh is just over a year old. It is going away quicker because there is generally a higher amount of fat in that area. This may or may not be what yours is from, but it could be. Keep an eye on it. Make sure it doesn't become painful or discolored or anything else. Hope this helps!
