Could bench pressing someone damage their back?

Yes : The excess overload can cause injury and damage to the back muscles, ligaments, tendons and discs. Proper training, lifting technique, position, stance and posture as well as knowing one's limits may help avert some of the risks.

Went to my pcp yesterday for hip and leg pain. She could not reproduce the hip pain by pressing or manipulation. She sent me for 5 x-rays of lower back. They showed quite a bit of arthritis. She thinks that's what is causing my pain. I'm not in agreement.
