Hello,

I think that I have finally figured out the reason for some of my knee
problems while cycling and also the reason behind my chronic lower
back pain.

I think that I have one leg longer than the other! I can see this
pretty readily while seated on the bike My left heel goes noticeably
further down at the bottom of the pedal stroke than the right heel.
The saddle should be keeping my pelvis level which removes any tilt
from the picture so this should give a good relative idea of the
difference.

Have an orthopedic sports doctor examine you. Have them measure your legs
and prescribe the required orthotics or other compensatory appliances if
that's truly the problem, but be open to the possibility that it's not.
Don't self-medicate or self-diagnose, and don't waste your time with doctors
who aren't familiar with the sports you engage in.
