Question 3

i want to lose the cellulite on my thighs and butt how can't i do that if i have lower back pain i don't want to hurt it by doing squats?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: Depending on the cause of back pain, exercise may be of benefit. Most chronic back pain in a 21 year old is related to core instability.  A regular exercise program can help with stability, but choosing exercises without excessive twisting is wise.

Accepted Answer

: Lower and middle back pain can be related to many things. Muscle strain is just one of them. It can also indicate a kidney infection or problem with your ovaries or other internal organ problems.

Question 7

i have back pain everytime i do squats. why?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: Squats put a lot of pressure on the intervertebral disc so this is a possible cause of the pain.  Facet joints are also a common cause of pain.  To determine the precise cause, see a pain specialist.  He/she can anesthetize (numb) each structure one at a time until you report relief of the pain.  Then a treatment can be targeted for that specific cause.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If your breasts are large that may explain the symptoms. Insurance usually covers reduction mammoplasty for symptomatic cases.  It would be prudent to see your doctor. 
Wish you good health!
