I had a huge quad injury last January from a bike accident. I have a big dent and lump in my leg. My PT said it "might" go away if a massage it a lot. But I think I will have that dent forever. My muscle seems to have recovered though, so be encouraged. Now if only my SI joint would heal up...
I am adding a disgusting picture because I know everyone will go eeeew!
Oh, and also... I started swimming when I had to stop cycling. It really saved my sanity. Now I am able to go on the eliptical, and weight machines. You don't have to lose your fitness, keep up cardio and leg work. You can do it.

Ah, the leg dent - sign of a true mountain biker.
I got mine thanks to an over-the-bars incident that occurred when I was being indecisive about whether or not to get cocky going over a simple trail obstacle - would've been fine either way if only I'd made my mind up before I got there! 
Thankfully, the lumpiness went as the bruising faded.
Must have a nosey at those pics.Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

Oh, Yay! If a leg-dent is a sign of a true mountain biker, then I guess I'm one, too!
Got one from a crash into a tree in '97 and it's still there. I recall the bruise for a time looked like Elvis in profile. Was pretty neat. But then gravity pulled it down into all sorts of weird stripes and shapes. No pix, tho.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,

Because of where mine is (right at the top end of the muscle), you only see it when you compare both legs.
