What causes goose bumps when diagnosed with chronic spine pain?
Patient: I have almost every disc is almost completely degenerated.... Stenosis, foramina Noramal (cant spell it) and other diagnosis regarding messed up back..... starts at base of skull and goes all the way to tail bone..... X race car driver..... I have recently been getting goose bumps from pain in upper back / neck region.... Is this normal..... I have been chronic pain patient over 15 years Doctor: Hello!Welcome on Healthcaremagic!Your complaints are related to chronic degeneration of the cervical spine. Unfortunately there is not too much to be done in this clinical situation. But, I would recommend performing a cervical spine MRI study to exclude possible spinal canal stenosis in this region, which may need surgery. A cervical collar can help reduce the pain. Hope you will find this answer helpful !Best wishes, Dr. Aida
