Would like to see an answer to this. I'm having trouble shifting from the top (I'm spinning out) and am looking forward to see if I get any results from this tonight...

Ya I guess all you would need is a swing speed measure-ER eh?

I am no medical genius but if you did this 100% of the time and were a pro or avid golfer you would have knee or hip surgery at some point in your life.

Jim I must say I do feel it in my left knee when I do this.
I've pretty well always naturally flared out my left foot a lot.

The first lesson I had with Brian, he worked with me on squaring my forward foot (my lead foot (left) was very flared), and i really struggled with this. I can now hit shots well doing this, but I do feel it in my knee and ankle a little (if I roll on to the side of my foot at the follow-through). I decided finally that it was just a limitation I had and moved on. Brian didn't seem worried about the issue much in later lessons.
Maybe I could hit the ball better with my foot turned in more, but I decided keeping my knee and ankle surgery-free was also an important goal.

I can put weight on the right leg and balance ok during the back swing. But I then have "discomfort" (sort of a nerve issue in the back-hip area and down the front of the leg) when I try to push off or apply some power from that leg in the down swing. Not a major pain just enough to reduce the amount of power that I apply to the down swing and impact.

Interesting.
Brian almost without a doubt has taught people with similar problems. (so he would know)
All I can think of is to:
-Make sure you have adequate "counter-fall." (when you make a backswing pivot you should not be able to balance on your right foot at the top of your swing)
-If you have no other option, put a lot of weight on your left foot. Personally, I already do it with my short shots. (mostly not with any club lower than a 7 iron but...) Just make sure your upper-body pivot has enough "lean-to-your-right." You do not want to start reverse-pivoting.
