lower back

i was picking up a bar from the floor to rerack it and i think i hurt my lower back- its nothing serious, but when i bend over and come back up my lower back hurts a little bit, im going to stay away from deadlifts until it completely heals- - my lower day is 2morrow and 2 of my exercises are deadlifts and straight leg deadlifts the only other leg exercises i have equipment to do is barbell squats, http://www.totalgym.com/cgi-bin/exer...tails.cfm?i=92 , and http://www.totalgym.com/cgi-bin/exer...tails.cfm?i=20 -should i just do these exercises and one leg calf raises for now?

Ok this is a stupid question, if it hurts then don't hurt it more .....if you broke your arm would you go to the gym the next day and do BB curls

Yes, I benched, and shoulder pressed 3 times a week right after I broke my collar bone.

Even when re-racking with light weight you have to be concious of keeping your back neutral. I had a similar injury to you and I took time off from training for 4 days and time off from deadlifting for 2 weeks. I got back 100% after that.
