I'm 25 with upper back pain (just off the right shoulder blade) - and my chest also feels a bit tight. i've had it for about 4 days now. what could be the cause?

Back pain: This would be in the area of your rhomboid muscle. That is a common muscle to strain.

Upper back pain: I agree with rhomboid as a possible reason but will add this most likely is a rib problem because of the extension into the chest. In addition a thoracic disc, nerve problem or early shingles
