A member asked:
Why does my spine feels like its bruised every time i touch or with massage?

Nerves: The back area can be more painful because it is so close to the spinal cord... It can be desensitized and improve ... See a back specialist if it worsens.

Pain to touch: This is usually the sign of a bruise, spasm, or tendinitis. Pain to the touch is not likely nerve related. It is most likely muscular as massage or touch compresses the sore muscles. Rest, ice, nsaid's, and salonpas hot patches (capsacian patches) are good. Change your posture. You may need mckenzie pt to help you through this. Md prescription necessary.
