What Causes Indents On The Legs?

I have a large indent approx. 3 inches long on my upper outer right thigh. I also have an indent approx 2 1/3 inches on my lower right shin. As well as, 2 (I think cysts) around my right shin as well. One started beside my upper right shin and has slowly moved to the lower right side of my leg. Could these sound related and/or serious? I have none of these issues with my left leg. I m a 26 year old female and I was very active when I was younger and do a lot of heaving lifting and tugging now at work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Yes its probable the indents are related. But I cannot confirm without an examination. If I were your treating doctor I would advise an MRI and a cyst biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and prescribe the treatment.
Hope I have answered all your queries. If you have any further questions I would be happy to help.
