A member asked:

Why do i feel a dent on my lower tibia that isn't visible to the human eye? i've had this for a year and used to deadlift a lot with olympic plates which would sometimes bounce off my shin and bruise. no pain or swelling, should i be worried?

It is likely that you have caused a small bone growth at the place of repeated contact with the plates that is not visible, only palpable. An X-ray would suffice to clarify, your doc would be able to assess and advise based on findings.
