Could The Dent Formed In Legs Due To Crossing Be A Matter Of Concern?

I had my legs crossed.. one right under the other. When I uncrossed them I noticed that I had a huge dent in my l leg in the front a little more toward the inside. That was about 10 min ago. Still there. I pushed on other parts of my legs and sure enough I got more indentions. I have pernicious anemia and fibromialgia. Is this something to be worried about? I also have been having pain in my back toward my left shoulder. Thought it was the firbro.
