Suggest Remedy For Dents In Thigh

About 3 weeks ago I strained both quads trying to perform sprints and not warmed up enough. The strain stopped me in my tracks and prevented certain activities. However I am a fitness instructor.. so I continued to work but avoided movements that caused me pain.. now since then I noticed a dent in thigh. Only in my right one;which was the worse of the two when strained. I m wondering how long until this goes away and should I be concerned?? I ve resumed physical activity. No serious pain,but that area still feels scarred ..(thats the only word I can think of) thoughts???

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you are having collection of fluid in the thigh. It can cause dent when there is pressure in edematous region. I would recommend you to continue with physical activities as such edema takes some time in settling.
Also you should apply compression bandage in night time. Tablet Chymorol forte can also be taken in such cases.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thanks
