Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with upper back pain radiating to your chest and being aggravated with lifting up your hands during awaken in the mornings I am suggesting that you have the following differential diagnosis

Cervical spondylitis
Myositis
Nerve root lesion
Spinal cord compression
Spinal cord stenosis
Spinal cord tumor
Multiple sclerosis
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
SLE
Migrating Arthritis

In view of this please do the following test
MRI
CT scan
Cervical /thoracic x-ray
Complete blood count +ESR +C reactive protein

Meanwhile please see an orthopaedic specialist with the result and for further clinical evaluation as well as adequate drug prescription

Moreover please take tablet Tylenol pending your appointment with the specialist

I hope this helps Regards
