Muscle spasm: This is usually from a muscle spasm. Try stretching and/or icing the area. However, 4 years of pain in the same spot is unusual. Consider seeing a chiropractor or physical therapist

Chronic tendinitis: 4 years is unusual for tendinitis but not impossible. tendinitis/myositis is tender to the touch. massage is best with the addition of anti inflammatory agents. Winter green (used in BenGay) is good to use when you do the massage. The biggest problem is that this area is hard to reach, so you will need help with the massage. see yoga link below http://www.yogacards.com/upper-back-pain.html
