If pain is between the shoulder blades could be coming from your heart.If so check with your cardiologist promptly.If pain is low back could be muscle pull,arthritis,nerve pinch or all of the above.Check with a good orthopedic surgeon.If you are overweight you will need to trim down.Temporary use of a simple back brace(like the workers at Home Depot wear) might be helpful.
Any time you have back pain lasting longer than 48 hours you should get examined by a physician. You can begin by seeing a Chiropractor to assess if your pain is more musculoskeletal in nature. If you can recall any mechanism of injury, that can also help the doctor determine if it is skeletal/muscle/joint related or something deeper. Given the brief history you have given, it would be helpful to know if you have been sick, have trouble breathing, and if your blood pressure is in the normal range. Bottom line--go see your doctor!
If you don't already have a chiropractor, I would seek one out in your area that has good reviews. Chiropractors are great for alleviating back pain, and they are trained to thoroughly assess your overall health as well.
