So sorry to hear that. Have you been to the doctor, yet?

yea :/

been trying to use a ball to roll it and and just rest today

Well, depending on the audible snap, I hope you visit a doctor 😬

Most definitely no lifting for a few days if the pain or discomfort persist most definitely seek medical assistance the backs not to be played with and deadlift is a motion thats prone to causing injury 🙏🏾 Take it easy and get well soon 🤗

That's not good Ellie.  As the other commenter mentioned,  rest initially and see how it feels in a day or two,  you might need to see a physio if it still hurts. A snap definitely sounds scary.

Wishing you a speedy recovery - hope it heals on its own! Consider seeing a doctor to be safe. Rest, ice, and avoid heavy lifts for now.
