Squatting with back pain

[LaVdot]

I have developed a sciatica problem. I'm 44 years old and I have been weight training for over 20 years. my lower back and middle back bother me though especially when I do squats. Someone told me I should avoid them and completely. Is there a way to squat with this issue or should I just give up completely

Why do you squat with back pain? stop doing it completely hommie
better switch to leg press etc squatting forget it

back squats are out of the question, you can do very light front squats and lunges and see

get an inversion table

Go get it treated.

No need for squats, treat it first

I’d switch out. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great exercise but you can build with others.

I wouldnt use much weight if dealing with back problems!

You should stop doing it....start slowly when you are fully recovered from pain...
