What Causes Pain In Upper Back While Bending?

I have been hurting in my upper back for a day, or two, when I bend over to pick up something or get a pan out of my cabinet, the pain is like a stabing, or shooting pain around my upper torso. I went to the doctor for this same pain back in June and ask could it be gallbladder, she examined , and said it was sore muscles, go home and take muscle relaxer. I havn t been working hard enough for my muscles to hurt. This is pain, not soreness. Do you have any ideas on this?
