My brother in Christ listen to your body. A good physio will absolutely listen to you, but unfortunately it can be quite hard to find a good one sometimes. Keep looking, I can assure you that someone will work with you.
Dont do barbell squats
Use belt squats, where weight is carried by a belt on your hips
Old russian case study i read a translation of said that it worked pretty well for a guy with a bad back
Where do you set the bar on your back? I strained my lats/neck once with bad bar placement and form. It left me with migraines for a few days. Have you tried front squats?
My main advice would be to take your time to figure it out. Even if it takes years, you still have decades of good lifting ahead of you. Don’t fight through a lot of pain and turn it into a permanent disability.

True man
Don’t squat, simple as
It's pretty much easy to say , Squats are one of the most essential movements, but yeah I was thinking the same
You could try front squats, get that bar off of your neck
Dumbbell lifts, machine stuff, front squats, belt squats. There’s no reason in this day and age to pick exercises that hurt.
