For given integers $m$,$n$, what bounds are known on the number of positive integers $x$ such that $m-x^2$ and $n-x^2$ are both perfect squares? In particular, is the number of such $x$ bounded above by a constant independent of $m,n$?


A search for $m,n \le 5000$ gives three pairs for which there are 4 such x: (1370,2210),(2210,3050), and (3485,3965).



Number of x such that $m-x^2$ and $n-x^2$ are both squares
In comments Aaron asked about an example of Kevin's construction with $10$ points.


In Kevin's comment the rational points come from the group law on the elliptic curve and $D$ is the lcm of the denominators.


Here is magma online code and example with $10$ points -- as Kevin wrote this way you **get as many solutions as you want**.


Starting with the OP's $m,n=1370,2210$ got a Weierstrass model of EC.


Found $4$ generators with mwrank (could have used some of OP's points instead of finding generators). 


Multiples of the $4$ generators gave additional solutions to the OP and here is the result:
