Why do only a couple of vertebrae hurt when touched? one in my thoracic spine and one in my lumbar spine? feel bruised when pressure is applied

Want more to hurt?: It's hard to say without getting a full history., it's possible that some vertebrae in your spine are mis-aligned, or it could be a sign of something else. Depending on how long, how painful, and whether there are any associated symptoms, it's best to see your primary care doctor or a doc that does manipulative therapy to give a history of your issues and get an examination of your spine.
