What Causes A Dent In The Muscle With Inflammation Of Feet?

Dent in muscle of right leg about 4 inches above knee. If I am at work and on my feet I get a burning and numbness in that area. It is also tender to the touch. After walking for about 1 to 2 hours the burning stops but the dent is still there. Also if I have to bend down it feels like I am going to pull the muscle apart. I am 67 is out due to age. I don t exercise except on my feet and moving for 6 hours 5 days week. on my days off the dent is there but the burning and pain is gone.
