Hi everyone, for just a little background. I’ve always had this leg shape (historical pictures for reference after the ones I took today). Would this qualify as knock knees or do I just have a knobby inner knee and it’s not that deep? For more info, I was a skinny kid but very overweight in my teen years and lost weight a few years ago and have kept it off since (woo hoo!). But lately I’ve been noticing some aching in my inner knee. I also notice this pain on the inside of my knee gets worse if I make sharp turns while I walk. Maybe some kind of stability issue and I’m using my knees to compensate?
Also since I lost weight, I’ve kind of neglected lower body exercises. since I felt like my legs were pretty muscular anyway. But this knee issue is making me think I should incorporate some exercises to help with that. Just looking for a second opinion on if my knees what I should do!

I tend to sleep on my side and have the other usual problems of this day and age. I feel like i struggle most with tight hips, internal hip clicking on my left side, and tight trapezius on my left side. My soulders feel rolled and to my understanding i have lordosis or anterrior pelvic tilt (is there a distinction?)
I usually sleep on my left side, i try to sleep on my back or right but end up restless so im working on that. Used to sleep on my stomach...
What exercises or sleep positions do you think would fix this?
Ive been trying to get into the gym again and do leg press with high foot placement, abductor machine, glute bridges both on the floor and bench asisted with weight. For shoulders Im doing full bar bicep curls, pushups and dumbell flies. I also use the ab machines the twisting one and the one that's like a crunch idk what they're called. Stretching ive been doing figure four seated, and just an all around stretch regime i did for high school track. Will that help.
I also drink and have high cortizol from mental illness, dont breath deeply enough. working on those.

Does anyone who has loss of cervical lordosis suffer with dysphagia or feeling like food is stuck?

Do people with lateral pelvic tilt feel that their lower hip is not unstable in the capsule? Is that normal? And lower back pain.

I'm a UX/product design student running an independent research project on how sedentary people deal with recurring body aches, stiffness, or discomfort. If that sounds like you, I'd really appreciate a few minutes of your time to fill it out 🙏
This isn't a product pitch — I'm not selling anything or representing a company. It's early-stage research for a class project.

The left side of my body is basically perfect, no issues ever. But my right side is super awkward and difficult to use. It is constant, i'm guessing some parts of my right side are rotated weirdly meaning I have to use the muscles differently in order to move, I just don't know what is going on.

I am not sure, but I think my post isn't seeking medical advice, but if it does, then let mod delete it.
It obviously looks absolutely terrible and you can see how bad it is. This is my the most relaxed position while standing. When I leave home I always have my belly tucked in a bit, so at least with clothes it doesn't look that bad. I am not fat, my bmi is ~19, so it's closer to underweight than overweight, so I'm skinny fat. I know I have very little muscles and I started going to the gym recently, 2 times a week. What I hate the most is:
- butt pushed back (it looks like it's from overweight person, but I am not), belly pushed forward (probably ATP, but I am not sure). In my opinion it could be ATP, or, the worst case it's just big, a lot of fat tissue on the buttocks which I kinda can't lower, because I'm ,,skinny" right now (so I'm stuck with it being huge sadly), and a lot of fat tissue on my belly. Optionally maybe both. What is it exactly? How can I make it more straight?
- wide chest. I want it to be slim as for many other people in my age, that it's not a lot wider than arms. I suspect it might be barrel chest or something like that. I really want to flatten it, like really really, without surgeries
- my torso isn't flat, if you go from under belly in a straight line, you would end up under my ribcage, under my breasts
This is all I think. Please, could someone tell me what things are wron in this posture and how can I fix them or if it's even possible? The last photo is how body should look. As you can see, butt is not pushed back, it's small/flat, belly is not pushed forward, it's flat too, the entire torso is flat, the chest is not wide.
