Do you find that the bar tends to roll down your back when you squat, or that you round your upper back during the squat? Have you tried going wider than you are now? Can you do shoulder dislocates with a dowel? Are you stretching/mashing on the painful areas via self massage or a lacrosse ball? You have options to explore here. As always, video would help.
