Is it painful?: There are a variety of reasons why this can be going on. If you are slim, it may simply be your spinous processes that you are feeling, which can be normal. Or it could also result from scoliosis, or scheuermann's kyphosis, etc. Or just a normal spine. Nothing necessarily to be alarmed about if you are not having any pain. But having your concerns examined and evaluated will be recommended.
