How long ago was the surgery?

It's been a while, about 15yrs give or take.

I shouldn't say I didn't have any issue...

I had the same pain you are describing in the same spot briefly after surgery when I first started really lifting after the surgery. Best I remember it went away after a few months.

The only time I experience it is doing deadlifts and with heavier weight loads. It's doesn't seem to be something I can work through, it's bad enough where I can almost drop the bar.

Let me ask you, best you can remember, has the pain always been there when deadlifting or is it a new pain?

After the surgery it was constant. That was expected. As time went on it became less frequent and only happened when lifting or twisting on occasion and then finally almost never. When I started lifting I was always cautious but never experienced it. Now as the weight loads have increased it was now and then. With the heavier loads I'm at now it's a given. Perhaps I should work thought it and see if it subsides but I'd be bummed if I tore it and needed surgery again.

A few posts have disappeared but I'm having a hard time grasping this breaking down and building up a better person theory. Sounds like a drug intervention

Doing the right thing when no one is looking...

And....

Do you want it bad enough to do what it takes to get the job done....

I couldn't agree more.

Did you lift prior to surgery? How long after surgery did you start lifting and what were your strength levels then?

Did I lift prior to my surgery LOL yes about 30 years before if that counts and that was not with any idea of what I was doing. After the surgery about 5 yrs or so. From my records I can see that I started in 2009. I do lift regularly with the exception of a hand full of injuries, another motorcycle accident mid 09, took about 5 months off, several times since then a couple of months off for other injuries, mostly stitches for cuts. I've had more stitches than you can count. My strength levels have increased steadily, I started out squatting a mere 105 lbs, now I can do 3x12 @ 235, benches are a weak point due to the broken clavical, started at about 90 lbs now at about 175, deads were at about 125, now 300 but this is one that I think I have more in me but am limited because of this issue.

I understand the goal and agree to it's importance, what I don't understand is how you break someone down and build them back up, especially over the net.
