Diagnosed w spina bifida occulta: i been lifting weights for 2 years. started feeling soreness in my lower back. does squats and deadlift affect sbo?

Don't do it: there are many other exercise choices available rather than squats and dead lifts. Strongly recommend that you increase your core strength/abdominals and this would greatly benefit your lower back.
