Pulled a back muscle while deadlifting?

Hello, everyone! This is my first post here. I think I injured my back muscle and would really need some advice.

So, I have been going to the gym on and off for about 2 years now. But, last 2 months I have started to take it way more seriously. Going 5x a week for like 7 weeks in a row, eating a personalized meal plan and so on. I have been getting really motivated because I can feel myself getting stronger nearly every 2 weeks and I usually wake up and looking forward to going to the gym.

Now on to the sad part.. All happened 3 days ago. It was wednesday and that is the day I usually train my back. I went to the gym, started warming up. Now my first excersie is deadlifts and I usually do 5 sets. 12 reps with 80 KG, 10 reps with 90 KG, 8 reps with 100 KG, 6 reps with 110 and end it with 4 reps with 120 KG.

I was on my 2nd set and 4th rep with 90 KG when I felt this medium pain in the left side of my upper back. It under my shoulderblade and between the left side of my back and spine. The pain wasnt too bad, i slowly put the bar down, even went for another rep, but didnt pick the bar up because it was hurting. Now when I let go of the bar and tried to stand up again the pain got pretty bad, it was painful to me to inhale, everytime my lungs expanded I could feel the pain in my left side of my back.
I walked around for like 30 minutes and then I went to the sauna, everything was pretty good. I didnt feel much pain and I could even do the deadlift movment (without the bar) and only feel a slight pain in my back.

The next day It hurt alot getting out of bed, but usually the more I move the better it gets. Like when I simulate the deadlift movment with no weights or bar, the first 4 times it hurts but after that it doesnt hurt for a while, Its like when I pump blood into my muscles the pain goes away. Is this a pulled muscle? Or something else? I really hope it isnt, I wouldnt like to be away from the gym for a month and lose all my gains.

What do you guys suggest me to do. I already got like therapy massage for injured muscles etc, my back is bruised and looks pretty rough but that day I could feel no pain and actually felt relieved, but after I woke up again the pain hit me in the back.

My form was good, my buddy was watching and the weights werent really heavy, just 90 KG. And I think its pretty hard to injure upper back muscles while deadlifting.

Does anyone else has had something like that? Or might have any advice? Questions? etc.

Should I go back to the gym on monday and just train chest, arms? etc.
