Do NOT run to the nearest weight room and start doing squat weights in response to your back pain. Go see a physical therapist. They'll put together an exercise routine that's customized to you, and ease you into it. Address the core issue first. Then, work up to whatever routine you aspire to, for example weights, but it's a good idea to discuss with your therapist first.
