Wow Eric, I really appreciate the post.
I am not sure how long it usually takes to recover, so I am just keeping all squats, and dead lifts rather light. On my training today, I kept the same weight for front squats but had to reduce my dead lifts by 90 lbs. All additional posterior chain work I keep at lighter weights since I am scared to aggravate my condition.
Its been aprox 1 week since I first noticed the discomfort. I only notice it when I squat or dead lift. Today after my light deads, it did feel really tight around my back.
