Cervical steonosis cause middle upper back pain right in middle on spine? or would that be from scoliosis or arthritics? hurts when i get to work

Not stenosis!: Not stenosis, since no radicular pain. No lower extremity stiffness. Arthritis most likely!

Many Possibilities: Depending on how long it's been going on, i would consider an evaluation by a spine specialist. Sometimes it could be a muscle imbalance, early onset arthritis or scoliosis. Also could be a pinched nerve/herniated disc. Either way it might be good to figure it out and get appropriate treatment.
