Do you recommend any kind of ointment i could use on my upper back right between the shoulder blade to relieve pain? been hurting for a few days.

Yes: You may try a patch with lidocaine or a topical NSAIDs gel (needs a Rx). Heating or ice pad may help also. If problem persists for more than 2 weeks or worsens, see your doctor.
