ok so two years ago i herniated discs L4/L5 with sciatica down my right leg. i did it power cleaning and i played football which made it worse. eventually it somehow healed where i was able to lift with considerable gains in strength. last summer i was squatting around 600 at the end of my cycle and power cleaning 300. i weigh about 280 right now with 18-20% bf. lately the pain has started again except now it shoots down my left leg, and usually follows any deadlifts squats or cleans i do. i havent done any power lifting save a few sets here or there for a couple months now and i still feel discomfort even after doing barbell rows. what can i do to help it? i want to resume squatting and deadlifting soon and i was thinking maybe light squats and deads will help my back strengthen up to where it used to be. any thoughts?

I've been adjusted, Physical therapy and shots in the spine.
It looks like my next step is 2 replacements.
L4-L5 and L5-S1.
I'd love to get back into the gym.
But my days of pounding poundage is past.
Take care of it now before someone else has to.
PS
Anyone out there lifting around a bad back??
