Lower back pain
While working out, doing deadlifts, a slight change in posture resulted in lower back pain a week ago. The pain still exists. It hurts when I bend, when I have to get up, and even while sitting depending on the posture. Any sudden movement involving my lower back, hurts. Pain is basically on the left side, but the effect is till the Centre. Kindly help me out here.

Dead lift involves compound muscle action. To be honest dead lift form and technique are much important to learn and master before you increase intensity.
Right now you need to visit an ortho or a physio before any further exercises. Local ointments will relieve the pain temporarily but it won't solve the problem. The medico you consult will evaluate the extent of injury.
Next Steps
kindly visit a physiotherapist who is well versed with Exercise Bio mechanics. in this case bio mechanics of dead lifts.

Sounds like a muscle spasm to me but a detailed assessment is important to confirm the same. Physiotherapy treatment will definitely help you. Until then apply ice pain at the epicentre of pain for 10-12min and repeat it 5-6 times a day.
Physiotherapy treatment including soft tissue work, stretching and taping will help you.
