Scoliosis. Most people tell me to avoid deadlifts. It feels uncomfortable too, feels sort of like my spine bends even more when i pick up the bar. I do know people who deadlift with scoliosis but they go light.
Of course you're gonna feel as if one side of your back is working more than the other, one of them is more developed than the other which causes scoliosis in the first place.
If anything your first goal should be hammering your back and midsection to realign your spine as much as possible to the point it doesn't cause muscle imbalances on the shoulders or legs as you gain musculature from weight lifting.
Deadlifts, snatch grip deadlits, ab work, hyperextensions are your friends. Specially hyperextensions, you should get to the point where you put a loaded barbell on your neck to do them. I got to do deadlifts with 350 and squatted the same, i even got to compete in weightlifting once. It limited me in the way that i'm never gonna be an elite powerlifter or weightlifter but that shouldn't stop you from getting an above average physique.
In fact i'm gonna give you the same advice my doctor gave me when i was close to 120 pounds and told him i didn't lift any weights because i think my spine is bent.. quit being a fucking pussy!
