Many causes.: So many possible causes that a definitive answer cannot be given. Arthritic conditions, disc degeneration, spinal tumors (NOT LIKELY!), and other disorders can cause upper back pain at night. Also, neck disc disease can sometimes be felt in the shoulder blade area. This would require a fairly well-trained physician in neurology, neurosurgery, or orthopedics to diagnose properly.
