Looks like muscle spasm on the back. Take rest and do hot fomentation.

Try taking otc pain medication and hot water packs If the pain doesn't subside consider consulting your nearby orthopaedic doctor else consult in detail Avoid single strap laptop bags.  Use a backpack with paded shoulder strap instead
