What Could A Fluid-filling Indentation (on Running/lifting) On Lower Leg Indicate?
Hi, on the outside of my left leg, mid way between calf and foot i have an indentation that i can press my finger into slightly. It does not hurt but fills with fluid and bubbles up when i run or lift. It is approx 1" in diameter. It seems to be muscular, not just below the skin...any help or advice is much appreciated.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns:
Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would come up with two possibilities, these include:
first possibility :Bursal sac between muscle and bone
second possibility :Intramuscular cyst inside calf muscle.
Ultrasound could help you in diagnosis, both possibilities could be treated conservatively if not tendre using anti-inflammatory, NSAID and limb elevation.
