I posted this before:
I was injured from doing squats before. I had also heard a pop in my lower back.
The pain reduced the range of motion in my lower back. It hurt when I stretched horizantally to the side which previously was not a problem.
I went to see the doctor and she said I sprained the soft tissue in my lower back. She prescribed me anti inflammatory pills which is suppose to expedite my recovery. I never got them. In 2 weeks I was back to 100%, during which time I was still going to the gym and working around the injury.
DOMS shouldn't affect your flexibility. Injuries might. Try using a foam roller to massage your lower back. It helps for me. Above all definately make sure your squat/deadlift technique is correct.
