What Does Pain And Tight Sensation In The Upper Back Indicate?

I have pain (tightness) in my upper back that sometimes radiates to the chest. Seems to be worse at night - maybe because I am active during the day and don t notice it as much. I had an attach of pancreatitis a couple of months ago, thought to have been triggered by gall stones in the duct irritating the pancreas. At that time I had similar symptoms that caused much more pain around the chest area front and back. Heart ruled out at that time. Gallbladder removed in January.
