I've had a similar experience although I've never been diagnosed with anything. When I went to a back specialist, he said he wasn't worried about my localized back pain because I had no sciatica. But, he did say to not "squat or deadlift anymore".
I listened to him for 4 years and I had a constant, low grade ache.
At some point in my 30s I got tired of the ache and decided I would just try to do squats and deads and if I hurt myself, so be it.
Within a week of re-introducing them, my back pain faded away. Every now and then I get a painful tweak, but recovery is often on the order of a week.
If I ever get Sciatica symptoms I will re-evaluate, but so far so good.
