Dont know if u got a diagnosis already but i can tell a bit about it.
I am not a doctor, but a radiology technician (the ppl who take the photos)
To start, the lateral X-ray is of pour quality, they placed the knee in a wrong position. The condyles dont fall over eachother.
The white stripe u see up there (in the circle u drawn) is just a little overlap between your medial condyl and your kneecap.
This means the radiation has to go through more bone, which makes the that spot a little lighter because the photo blackens less.
The anterior X-ray is of resonable/good quality.
On both photos i cant see any weird things bonewise, but if u want to see cartlidge damage an X-ray of the knee only gives 23% sensitivity. That means it's overlooked in 77% of the cases where the damage is not severe enought to see on a X-ray.
When i look at your age, I dont think there is anything wrong with your bones if there hasnt been a trauma (accident etc).
I could make a guess what the problem is, but that wouldnt help you very much and would be speculative.
The best thing would be to ask for a MRI, and stand by it that u need it when the docter refuses it.

I've read the article on eatmoveimprove about lower back pain and I think it might be possible I have a herniated/bulging disc. The pain is about 13cm above the butt crack and I'm 173cm tall for reference. It hurts a lot if I round my back and I think the pain is in the spine, or right next to it, it's kind of a radiating pain.
I've had this a few times before but I thought it was just a strain and it disappeared after like 2 days so I didn't think much of it. Since then it's sometimes hurt when I've rounded my back to put on a shoe or something, which I don't really think is normal. First time it occured was during barbell rows, then it has happened a few times when I've moved around plates and stuff like that.
My question is if there is any test I can do myself to see if it's likely I have a herniated/bulging disc before I spend the cash to go see an orthopedic doc? I'd prefer not to spend $100 on "it's a strain go rest".

Not really...
It's possible to rehab stuff like this without professionals if mobility work helps improve your condition and you can ramp back into work slowly.
But if you are still having issues after a few weeks then generally it's best to get it checked out.

I guess I'll go see a doc sometime next week then, better safe than sorry. I can do deadlifts and all that business completely pain free and being able to do that with a strained back doesn't really make sense to me.

Sacroiliac joint issues, had it before.
Question: Both times, it has only been my right side which suffered pain, and particularly during deadlifts and squats. What are some possible theories as to why it would only occur on my right side?
I was wrong. I tried the manipulation but nothing really happened.
I looked at the "so you hurt your lower back" page again and the pain is not in the SI joint area.
In the conclusion picture, it is around the top of the gluteus medius fascia and the iliac crest.
Only on my right side
most of this is repetitive of what has already been posted:

My flexibility issue with left arm means that some weight on left half of barbell is supported by should/wrist. Maybe cause imbalance?

Also, in every grip, my left hand falls closer to the center than my right hand (unless im using mixed grip for deadlift). I think i was doing a lat pulldown a few months ago when i felt something tear slightly below that area. I rested it for a week and it felt ok after that, but it has been causing me problems. In terms of flexibility, my left arm can move behind my back a lot easier than my right arm, but my right arm has better ROM in front and above the shoulder.
Did a little research, could this be separated shoulder?

Update2: I'll be uploading pictures about what i mean when i say my left shoulder moves backwards and the lack of ROM.
![[image loading]](http://i41.tinypic.com/21417co.jpg)
The red shows that my hand is way in front of my shoulder, which moves behind my back.
In terms of the first two pictures, the right shoulder actually moves forward and partially covers the chest, while the left shoulder does not cover the chest (look near the armpits)

1. Google a pic and mark where it hurts.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/XgZyD.jpg)
2. What exercises hurt? Which shoulder articulations hurt? Make sure you check both with passive motion and resistive/active motion.
I've been having pain in my wrists while doing squats. I've been really focusing on locking the bar on my back not gripping it (I am keeping thumb over the bar now thanks SS) I think part of the problem may be when I go to rack the weight and shifts on to my wrists as I go more vertical. Now when I clench my right fist (only the right one) and especially if my thumb crosses over my finger I get pain in my palm and wrist.Just found out holding a pen causes the same pain as well >.<
3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp?
Sharp, tingles after I try to reproduce the pain a couple times ha.
4. What would you rate the pain at on a 0/10 scale? 0 being no pain, 10 being go to the emergency room.
2-3
5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~6-8 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury?
Acute, since started squatting two weeks ago.
6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long?
Same as above.
7. How deep is the pain? Is it more superficial tissues? Or does it seem to be more inside or around the joint? Describe it.
Inside my palm, not superficial. The wrist pain seems to be on the palm side of the arm.
8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes?
Went from only bothering me immediately following a set to pain at work later on in the day.
9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities?
Well clenching my fist makes it worse. Pain is not constant. I haven't noticed anything when benching, deadlifting, OHP.
10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling?
No swelling. Forearms are tight on the top and bottom but nothing is tender.
11. How does it feel after exercise (if any)? How does it feel at the beginning of the day? How about the end of the day?
Bothers me after squats. Previously hasn't bothered me at all more than a few hours after the workout.
12. Any previous injury history?
My right wrist felt like it had some tendonitis (was worried about carpal tunnel stuff but hopefully skeptical) maybe 6 months ago. Changing my workdesk set up has apparently alleviated that.
13. How's your posture?
Working on it. Fair to good I would say.
14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports?
Nothing specific to my grip or anything. Doing deadlift double overhand, if that's the terminology?
15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help?
Nothing more comes to mind. If you have any input on things I can be checking form-wise that would great, I'm going off SS only at the moment.

I was wrong. I tried the manipulation but nothing really happened. I looked at the "so you hurt your lower back" page again and the pain is not in the SI joint area. In the conclusion picture, it is around the top of the gluteus medius fascia and the iliac crest. Only on my right side most of this is repetitive of what has already been posted: + Show Spoiler +2. What exercises hurt? Which shoulder articulations hurt? Make sure you check both with passive motion and resistive/active motion. http://www.exrx.net/Articulations/Shoulder.htmlSquats, Deadlift, Running, Jumping 3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp? It aches after an exercise, sharp during 4. What would you rate the pain at on a 0/10 scale? 0 being no pain, 10 being go to the emergency room. 3 after, 6 during 5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~6-8 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury? Chronic. Can't remember when it first started right now. Probably 1-2 months ago. Miniscule improvement. 6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long? It was better for a week when i trained starting at 135lb squat/dead, but now i stopped again 7. How deep is the pain? Is it more superficial tissues? Or does it seem to be more inside or around the joint? Describe it. Seems close to the bone, although the bone is close to the surface. 8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes? rest 9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities? rest=minimal help, movement makes it worse. Not constant, but right side definitely feels different than left during whole day. 10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling?Tissues seem softer/more tender than the one around my left side. 11. How does it feel after exercise (if any)? How does it feel at the beginning of the day? How about the end of the day? After squat/dead, terrible. Beginning/end: softer/tender than left 12. Any previous injury history? Had once before although may count as the same injury 13. How's your posture? Completely straight/slight hyperextension makes it painful 14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports? quit squats and deads for a while. Track 15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help? I had a bit of buttwink on my squats. Maybe that caused it, but only on my right side so... My flexibility issue with left arm means that some weight on left half of barbell is supported by should/wrist.

Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help? when i'm doing any rack position, i notice that my left shoulder moves backwards. This makes correct low bar impossible for my left side to achieve while my right side is fine. In clean/FS, my wrist has to flex a considerable amount to make up for this. Also, in every grip, my left hand falls closer to the center than my right hand (unless im using mixed grip for deadlift). I think i was doing a lat pulldown a few months ago when i felt something tear slightly below that area. I rested it for a week and it felt ok after that, but it has been causing me problems. In terms of flexibility, my left arm can move behind my back a lot easier than my right arm, but my right arm has better ROM in front and above the shoulder. Did a little research, could this be separated shoulder? Update: saw a trainer on this and she said that it was tight neck muscles. She had me stretch, didn't really seem to change anything. Feel like it is something else, but she said it wasn't separated shoulder. Update2: I'll be uploading pictures about what i mean when i say my left shoulder moves backwards and the lack of ROM. The red shows that my hand is way in front of my shoulder, which moves behind my back. In terms of the first two pictures, the right shoulder actually moves forward and partially covers the chest, while the left shoulder does not cover the chest (look near the armpits)
Sounds like an issue with your shoulder external rotation
https://www.google.com/search?q=external rotation stretch
Is this the only issue you have or is the other low back thing still giving you problems?

I've been having pain in my wrists while doing squats. I've been really focusing on locking the bar on my back not gripping it (I am keeping thumb over the bar now thanks SS) I think part of the problem may be when I go to rack the weight and shifts on to my wrists as I go more vertical. Now when I clench my right fist (only the right one) and especially if my thumb crosses over my finger I get pain in my palm and wrist.Just found out holding a pen causes the same pain as well >.<
3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp?
Sharp, tingles after I try to reproduce the pain a couple times ha.
4. What would you rate the pain at on a 0/10 scale? 0 being no pain, 10 being go to the emergency room.
2-3
5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~6-8 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury?
Acute, since started squatting two weeks ago.
6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long?
Same as above.
7. How deep is the pain? Is it more superficial tissues? Or does it seem to be more inside or around the joint? Describe it.
Inside my palm, not superficial. The wrist pain seems to be on the palm side of the arm.
8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes?
Went from only bothering me immediately following a set to pain at work later on in the day.
9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities?
Well clenching my fist makes it worse. Pain is not constant. I haven't noticed anything when benching, deadlifting, OHP.
10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling?
No swelling. Forearms are tight on the top and bottom but nothing is tender.
11. How does it feel after exercise (if any)? How does it feel at the beginning of the day? How about the end of the day?
Bothers me after squats. Previously hasn't bothered me at all more than a few hours after the workout.
12. Any previous injury history?
My right wrist felt like it had some tendonitis (was worried about carpal tunnel stuff but hopefully skeptical) maybe 6 months ago. Changing my workdesk set up has apparently alleviated that.
13. How's your posture?
Working on it. Fair to good I would say.
14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports?
Nothing specific to my grip or anything. Doing deadlift double overhand, if that's the terminology?
15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help?
Nothing more comes to mind. If you have any input on things I can be checking form-wise that would great, I'm going off SS only at the moment.
Does stretching or any type of wrist mobility work help at all?
It seems like just some compression of the median nerve or something like that.
See if hte median nerve glide helps out a bit:
http://www.handhealthresources.com/Solutions Pages/Exercises.htm
If ice or heat helps then use it. ANti-inflams may help if it's some inflammation.
I would also reevaluate your grip on holding the bar... you may need some more shoulder flexibility too.
Do you have a vid of your squat?

After posting and giving it more thought shoulder flexibility came to mind. I've been working on it while dabbling with the bodyweight training stuff. I don't have any videos of my squat as of now. I'll try the nerve glide and let you know. Can't thank you enough for the abundant amounts of information in this sub-forum!
Median nerve glide: Yep! Feel it there. I actually tried the ulnar one earlier today just from seeing it while browsing this thread a week or so ago but it's definitely the median nerve where there is tension. Is it possible having my elbows back to lock the bar on my back is irritating the median nerve? So pec and shoulder stretches are in order?

Yeah, that would help.
Also work the median nerve glides too because it does help loosen any scar tissue/adhesions that may form and impair movement of hte nerve during movements and/or cut off blood supply.

I also usually have some sharp pain in my left shoulder when i first try to get under the squat rack but once i get my arms and shoulders in the correct position and start squatting it isn't a problem. Not sure if I should be worried about this or not.
Hmmm, I'm not quite sure about the hip thing because there's not enough information for me to figure out what type of issue there is. I suspect it could be a potential mobility issue... maybe FAI (femoral acetabular impingement) but it could also be some soft tissue issue, or maybe SI joint.
If there's any way for you to get to a physical therapist that would be a good idea.
The shoulder seems like a typical flexibility issue without more information. I would suggest stretching the chest and other tight muscles as retracting the scaps if you have poor posture can cause some pain when setting up for a proper squat

Friend of mine has slight pain in the wrist after bench pressing. When watching his bench his wrist is straight and form looks really good. Any quick tips on strengthening the wrist?
My neck pain went away after a couple of days of stretching <3
