Back pain? My upper spine?

About a year ago I Was working out for football and I was doing th box squat. That's when you put the bar on your back and squat eventually my spine really start to hurt and my coach thought I bruised it. It took a break from that and I was fine. Now a year lTer I'm getting the same pain only spine. I have not been dong any lifting though. Will this pain come and go for the rest of my life? Or am I being a drama queen
