A member asked:

Random chills up my spine, up to 5 a day normal? i suffer from chronic epididymitis. urine test and ultrasound normal. chills last a couple second.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unclear: Your chills up the spine are likely not related to your chronic epididymitis. Random, recurring 'chills up the spine' an unusual symptom, possibly suggestive of some overstimulation of the autonomic nervous system.
