You have a lot of heart However, as it has been stated before, 5.10 is a little small for HW, perhaps try to cut down to cruiserweight or LH? I believe that with a 5.10 massive frame, you could do a happy last horray in these divisions.
Also, I'D check with a doctor to make sure that not only you feel better but that your back has properly healed to go boxing again as the training is very tough (as you already know). One other thing that I'd check; there are many different exercices that can lead you to Roma, perhaps consult a specialist who could indicate you which ones are best suited for you and unlikely to injure your back again.

Good luck fulfilling your dreams.
