A member asked:
Was rubbing my leg and noticed a dent in my shin bone? not bumped or ever injured it so was just wondering why or how its there?

Totally Normal: There is very little padding to the shin bone so it is very vulnerable to injury. Very likely you banged it up plenty as a little kid perhaps bike riding or smk=cking it against playground equiptment. That's enough to put dents in the bone that last a lifetime.
