Lately I have been having major upper back and shoulder pain after rides. It seems it really be aggrevated when down on the TT bars for long periods. I try to stretch it out but no luck. Any thoughts? Thanks.

It sound to me like your bike fit might be out of whack, have you tried lowering or raising your stem or even shortning it? Along with saddle adjustments (front to back) this helped me when I was down on my bars for extended time.
Sorry it took so long to reply, I see your question was posted almost a month ago, I hope this helps or if you have fixed the problem already let us know what you did to fix it.
Spike.
I also find that near the beginning of the season I get some minor back pain/fatigue when I am starting to up my mileage. It goes away after a few long rides.
