What Could Be Causing Tightness In Lower Legs And Indentation When Pressed?
My lower legs get tight and when I press on them it leaves an indention. It s only along my shinbone where I can press and leaves indention. My legs also feel real tired when I walk. When normal my calves will jiggle when I move them but when tight they barely move.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The condition you are facing is called the pitting edema, the causes may be the defeciency of vitamin B,proteins, iron, heart failure due to heart problem like stenosis, or regurgitation, and corpulmonale secondary to the respiratory disease.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have E.C.G, and blood tests for diagnosis.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
