I too have "body dents" from Copaxone. The backs of my arms are way concave. Unfortunately, they still wave above and below the dents. Yuck! I have given up sleeveless shirts cuz I feel deformed.

My hips on the other hand are concave too, but it looks like I am ripped. LOL I certainly have no muscle definition but it looks like it.

My thighs never dented but are lumpy to the touch. My doc took me off and put me on Imuran (Azithioprine) and I have not had a side effect that I can determine through my other meds side effects.

I had tried Methotrexate out here (CO) preferred by doc. I had a mild siezure at a low dose. So reluctantly he put me on Imuran which I was on for several years in OH with good results. No relapses in OH or since I started in Dec '06. I had 4 episodes in 2006.

Definitely, get off it if possible, IMHO. There are other options out there. Good luck.
