Thank you for contacting us. Pain in the upper back region where you have mentioned is most likely to be muscular spasm pain. But muscular spasm pain for such a long duration need to have a primary cause which in your case can be small joints arthritis near your spine or can be due to disc problem. A short course of over the counter pain killer, muscle relaxant and exercise therapy can be tried but since it is persisting for long, a proper work up including some basic blood tests and a proper history is required to arrive at a definitive diagnosis.
