What Causes Indentation In Legs?

Noticed an indentation in my leg where I already have dark veins and have been told by doctor that this is where the blood pooled and the veins are no longer working. Been told to wear support socks and since I never have pain or swelling, leave it alone. Why all of a sudden the indentation?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here this could be disturbances in venous return system and this need to be ruled out and for that Doppler study need to be done, take care. (For better symptomatic relief limb need to be kept in elevated positions, crab bandage can be used )
I find this answer helpful
