It's normal as far as I have been told.I have a dent in exactly the same place,and also on both legs just above my knees.

Can't remember exactly what my consultant said is was caused by now,but it isn't anything to worry about apparently.

However I'm not a doctor,so maybe mention it to your consultant or GP.

I have the same. At first I though I was seeing things as there normally is a slight dent on the shin but there is a clear difference between both shins.

Haven't shown my GP or rheumy yet but my theory is some sort of lipoatrophy due to inflammation. Hijacked my son's appointment with a consultant and he said it may be panniculitis. I have similar dents in my arms and back of my thighs, and in all those areas, I had inflammation before the dents appeared.

Not what you're looking for?
