Dents in leg muscles
Posted: 05-06-08 22:42pm

Two months ago I had one too many vodkas, and on the walk home from the pub I found a trolley. My friend suggested I get into the baby seat of the trolley (and put my legs through the baby holes of the trolley). He swung me around foolishly and the trolley came crashing down. As a result I had HUGE bruises on the front of my thighs.

The pain went away within a week, and the bruises faded. However, I now have dents where the bruises were and i'm scared that they will remain there forever. They no longer hurt, however there is still slight discolouration where the bruises were. I am hoping the dents are still healing and they'll go away.

Will the dents be there forever? I'm so worried!

The bruising you had with the injury may not be completely healed. Bruising can occur deep within the tissue. You can try to gently massage the area of injury. This will help to break up any scar tissue that resulted from the injury. Time will heal the bruising.
