Trigger points: Pain in the midline of the back or around the shoulder blades is usually muscular. Trigger points, fairly specific areas that when pressed reproduce or trigger the pain, are common and muscular. Levator scapula syndrome is a variant near the top of the shoulder blade. Good posture, avoid looking down at computer screens. Try ice/heat, nsaid's, and salonpas hot patches.

Evaluate first : First get evaluated by a professional competent in assessing your musculoskeletal and neurologic systems. Barring any major structural problems, medications would not be the first nor primary remedy choice.
