back pain/neck pain?

To any or all of you with advice, I'm asking:

I've been having a strange back pain for ...awhile now..it's mid back, right at the bra line. It's very tender to the touch, almost feels bruised, but there's no discoloration. It's right on the spine. (can't get it to pop.)

I've also had some upper neck pain, just behind my ear/head pain. (hard to explain.) It feels better if I can get it to pop...could it be related to the epideral? I haven't called the doctor yet...just wanted to see if anyone has any advice. (I'm not sure that the back and neck/head pain are connected, but i suspect they are.)
