It feels like I'm pinching a nerve or pressure point or something, when I'm just around parallel squatting. Doesn't hurt a lot, but it's annoying and distracts me. Only started recently.
Well whatever it is, your best not to aggravate it more. I would suggest you play around with your stance and if that don't work take a 2 week break from squatting and eat heaps, if that don't work......see a Doc and get a scan, could be a number of things.
It's just from squatting. trap bar deads and normal deads are fine. I'll take a break from squatting and see how I am over the next two weeks. If not, would it be best to see an osteopath or physio?

The guy I saw was called Pierre and he fixed my knee up good and proper. He didn't tell me to stop squatting parallel or below, he actually encouraged it (which I gather is not the norm for physio's).
I've been to the guys at warners bay, they were decent. I'm just wondering if an osteopath might be better for this sort of thing or not. Or if anyone here has some insight.
Is the spot sore after you finish squatting? Do you have pain or aches in other parts, such as hips, thighs, pelvis? Any problems walking or climbing stairs?
What happens if you directly massage the spot? Is it tender?
No, it's during the eccentric and concentric of when I'm around parallel. Not sore after or before, maybe a tiny bit tender directly after but it doesn't last long. It feels like it's pinching
