What Does An Indentation On The Upper Arm Indicate?

hi im a little concerned because my upper right arm/shoulder has muscle indentation like my muscle is missing and there is a huge gap between my two muscles right near my rotary cuff on my arm. there is no pain but i have noticed as of recently that i cant do small things with my hands without them shaking and i have never had that before. my question is can these be signs of MS... i have bad allergies all the time and vertigo is not an uncommon thing for me. please let me know if the muscle indentation thing can be a sign of MS or any other autoimmune disease because thats the only thing im concerned about. thanks.. ps im 26

the prevalence of ms is very less 0.17 to 1.33 in 1lakh population in india.

just consult neurophysician he will conduct eletromyography and nerve conduction studies and will decide the cause for problem...
