The Long Run

I pulled either a muscle or tendon in my mid back while doing (what I now found to be incorrect) bend over rows. I stopped doing the bend over rows and squats as these heavily involve my back. I'm just now trying to get back into both having been away from them for 3 months now, and even when I only just go through the motions of the bend over row (without a barbell or any other weight) or I bend over to pick up something, etc. I still feel a "pull".
Its not a sharp stabbing pain like its been for about 2 1/2 months now but its still a "tingle" that instantly makes me stop doing what i'm doing for fear of making the pain come back or straining what has healed.
I'm wondering is it ok to stretch and work this muscle lightly even though I feel just a slight pull or tingle? I'm thinking the reason I haven't healed for so long is I haven't stretched or worked it at all.
I was also supposed to start pro wrestling training almost 3 months ago and this has really stopped everything.
I'm getting quite tired of the whole thing, thinking it would just go away by itself, and to say I'm eager to start training is a major understatement.
I'm to the point I'm thinking of going ahead and starting anyway and using some kind of torso wrap that will maybe protect the muscle and I can ease into training that way.
Any suggestions?
