Several possibilitys: One is a myofascial (soft tissue problem) often due to overuse and/or stress. Another possibility is "notalgia paresthetica" in which a sensory branch of a thoracic nerve root is irritated causing the symptoms. Sounds like you've suffered in silence until now--so now do something about it and get your doc to examine you.
