My idea is to continue to go to the gym but use moderate weights instead of heavy weights. That should put less pressure on the back and allow me to use better form. He said that he thinks my landings from jumps are the most probable cause, since that is much more impactful on the spine than gym work, especially as my right leg was injured and couldn't properly absorb the landing.
What do you guys think?
Pretty much all pain experts agree that keeping up some sort of loaded movement that doesn't cause pain is good, so I think this sounds pretty smart. You can always build back into the higher impact stuff over time, not like you are in a rush to achieve some very specific goals at the moment, beyond getting pain-free.
