   Alright so everyone knows what fat looks like. Like the jiggly soft kind. But if you grab the underside of the inside of your thigh, like right above the knee, and feel in there, there seems to be some tissue that takes up space like fat but it's way harder than normal fat, and also not muscle or tendon or anything like that. If I feel around with a lot of pressure, it feels kind of like it's not uniformly distributed, but almost comes in globs. It feels like it might be really condensed fat or something.
   
   Also there's nothing weird about my leg and looks normal from the outside, so I'm sure it's normal, I'm just wondering what kind of tissue it is.

   They are called glutial muscles. Rather than being one solid muscle, they are numerous thin muscles tightly strung together. This arrangement makes it feel like bumps and ridges when they are bunched together, when probing them from the outside.

   Look up tuberosity and tubercle.
