Maybe your technique sucks. Have you had someone watch you closely?

Nah, you need to retire from poor form.

Try bodyweight exercises and work up to single leg squats. If you can do that, you'll have all the strength you need.

As a wise man once said, "Life is not worth living if you can't do a deadlift."

Watch videos that demonstrate proper form. Practice it religiously with light weight until it becomes habit. Keep one rep in the tank on every set.

Herniated my 2nd disc at L4/L5 this summer.

If you want it to ever have a chance of getting better, stay away from the weights. I'd suggest swimming as much as you can as strengthening your core will bring some stability to your otherwise weakened back.

I had an epidural done this past week and it has helped a lot..that combined with muscle relaxers/anti inflammatories and lortabs have made the pain go down from pain on a 7/10 scale before to a 3/10 and sometimes no noticeable pain. The number one thing is to keep active and don't reinjure yourself because you still want to lift

It'll get your body repaired for more deadlifts. No doubt.
