Exercising to help injury recovery

[Muckle_Ewe]

Long story short.

Hurt back 6-7 weeks ago.
Let it rest, no weights at all in this period.
Started lifting again last Monday, injury came back on Thursday while doing squats.

I went to a doctor about it and he said that exercising the back will be much more beneficial to me than resting it completely however if it hurts than I shouldn't do it.

So these past few days I've just doing very light workouts consisting of BB Bench, BB rows and some leg work (RDL, lunges). I can't do overhead work as it causes discomfort after a bit.

I was just wondering what everyones thoughts are on this?
I'm using 30kg (66lbs) for all my exercises and just doing sets of 15-20 to get a pump but not taking the muscle anywhere near failure.
Would it be alright to do a set or two of the exercises I mentioned every day? I know muscles need recovery time obviously but since I'm doing such light work and not going near failure I figure it would be more of a stretching type workout. Perhaps I should just rotate things like upper/lower/repeat etc...

I should also say I don't feel any pain or discomfort after of during the workouts and I honestly feel like I'm improving faster than when I just rested completely.

ouch, btw is it your lower or upper back?
One of the best ways that heavy lifters recover or prevent injuries and promote faster recovery is stretching.

It was roughly my middle back! Like just below my right shoulder blade. Hurt it doing ... wait for it... curls! Although I had just done 5 sets of BB rows right before so might have done something there and since with back the pain increases over time I might have only felt it a minute or two later.

I'll be stretching as well. Just gotta make sure I don't overdo it. Just a set here and there.
