Back Pain - How can I alleviate upper back pain that runs across my shoulders and up into my neck?

How can I alleviate upper back pain that runs across my shoulders and up into my neck?

I am sure it is tension related, and it's been going on for days. I have tons of homework to complete before Monday - I don't really have a comfortable place to sit and I don't like sitting in my bed to do homework. Is it possible to alleviate the shoulder/back pain I'm having - even if it's only for a couple of hours it would be so wonderful. I have some naproxen, but that stuff doesn't really do much for me. Thanks for your help.
