What Causes Redness And An Indentation On The Upper Arm?
I have developed an indentation on my upper arm muscle it is also slightly red. I lift weights and had pulled a muscle recently. My massage therapist recommended injecting something for inflammation. So I did. The liquid in the syringe was cloudy. Could any of this have caused it and what is it??

Hi. This sounds like you tore a muscle and it can be a complete or partial tear. That can cause a defect/indentation in the muscle. I am not sure what was injected. A partial tear can be treated conservatively, but a complete tear may have to be surgically corrected. My advise is have an ultrasound done to confirm diagnosis, and a surgeon or orthopod can manage further. I hope that helps.
