MaseAnn 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Ok I have lost 22lbs since my surgery Sept 30th. I recently started exercising and Saturday night after my shower, I was puttin on lotion and noticed a dent - not a small one either - right smack in the middle of my shin. It was the STRANGEST thing I have ever seen. A friend saw it and said she had that happen when she lost some vanity weight. She said it was a fat pocket that had moved or dissolved and it would be fine. She said another of her friends had the same thing happen to her. She said she got hers in her thighs and hips mostly. I find this very strange. Anyone have any experience with this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

live2canoe 1 Posted October 25, 2005 By any chance does your excercise include walking on a treadmill with a grade, or walking outside up hills? Is it on both shins? If so, what you're feeling is a muscle. It's the muscle that pulls the front of the foot up when you take a step - especially on a hill. I forget the name of it - but I have a very prominent one, too. And you're right - it is weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
