I am constantly getting Upper back pain

I have had back pain/ache in my upper back, more specifically the area where my shoulder blades are. I have it all the time but it gets worse when i carry my college bag or i am on my period. Should i see a spinal/back specialist or is it stress related?

It seems that your muscles are weak.Give some rest to you body from dancing and athletics for some weeks to subside the pain. You can do some hot water fomentation for more comfort. During periods body remains exhausted and due to that weakness of muscles pain gets more worse. So its advisable to not take excess strain during menstrual cycle.
When there will be a marked decrease in pain you can start your exercise to strengthen back muscle, prescribed by qualified doctor of Physiotherapy. If pain wouldn't subside then you have to come for complete and detailed checkup.

I wish for your speedy recovery!

My apologies, i don't really know how to use this. I am female, 18, i have a good posture and exercise regularly. I always have an ache right in-between my shoulder blades and sometimes in my neck. I used to do a lot of gymnastics and dance from the ages 4-7 and again from the ages 12-16, and i have had this back ache/pain for around 2 years or so. As i have said the ache becomes more intense when i carry my college bag during the working week (the bag is heavy (10lbs'ish) and the week before and after menstruation/period. And i wondered if there is anything that i can do about this or not?

Also i do not watch television a lot, i do study around 3/4 hours (reading/computer work/writing) after college and obviously i am sat long hours in lessons however i get free periods too in which i will go to the library and do some outstanding work or go into the art department and work on the computers.
