    To truly assess your form we need a good clear video. If you're experiencing pain, especially sharp pain, DO NOT push through.

    ^this

    Pain in your back is a red flag! don't risk hurting your back until you've your form sorted.

    until then have you thought of switching to front squats for a period of time? it will still work your quads and will also strengthen your lower back. Just go very light on the weight at the start
