Dear patient it seems your back pain is not due to accident but might be due to adherent scar and weight lifting. Since weight lifting itself leads to back strain and bursitis undernith scar also lead to back pain you need to investigated for both. I would like to advice ultrasound of the scar area and digital radiograph of spine to come to conclusion.
