Sounds like you've been doing deads with mostly back. I.E. using your back as a lever instead of driving with your hips and legs. I have a bad lower back, and trust me I don't "bend down" when I dead lift. If I did I'd be screwed. If you're doing deads the way I described...which most people seem to...you should modify it to a more conventional technique. It likely will mean less weight but in the long run more since you'll still have your back.
But I'm not sure if bend down means bending over.
I think you'd be better off seeing a physiotherapist on this for a routine and such. Doctor's, unless he's a sport medicine doc, aren't that well versed in exercise prescription.
