Wrecked my back doing deadlifts in a stupid fashion.

Remedy: More deadlifts.

Now, I don't really get injured but I'm pretty big on not training like a buffoon (anymore).

My back gets sore when I don't dl. Like right now. Hip issues after a long break too

Wing Lam Kung Fu makes a wonderful Dit Da Jow that is sometimes given a deeper push into the affected tissue/s with a small dab of Tiger Balm or other such mentholyptus-type rub and thorough massage. Ask the Chinese Olympic Lifters if it works.

I heard you can get hemorrhoids when lifting heavy . is that true?

I never did. It's been so long since I was powerlifting competitively that I can't remember if anyone else complained about it.

You can but unless your goal is to lift heavy weights, you don't have to. And lifting heavier increases your risk of injury.
You can get injured doing bodyweight stuff, let alone lifting weights.

Proper technique, stretching/mobility drills, recovery, QUALITY warm up & periodisation should REALLY minimise any potential threat of injury.

Not interested in lifting too heavy .. Just want to have strength and toned body.

Agree but the more stress you put on your body, the higher the risk of injury. I mean, obviously being sedentary is more of a risk but I'm talking about the context of people that are already training.

True, but gymnasts get injured all the time, and I don't see them touching weights.

My point being that even if you go from being a PL'er to doing only press up's & sit up's, you WILL get injured somewhere down the line.

No method is safe.

The increased level of intensity is what increases risk of injury. That could be increased weight, increased range of motion, increased volume etc.
