WEIRDEST sensation in my spine

hi there,

i am 21 years old and have struggled with back pain since I was 15. i have slight scoliosis in the middle of my spine. because of this, one side of my back is underdeveloped and contributes to a great deal of my back pain. I also have gotten cortisone shots in my bursa, which significantly helped my back pain for some time.

my main complaint is that along with back pain, i also get a very very weird tingly uncomfortable sensation throughout my back when someone touches it. the weird thing is is that it feels the weirdest when someone uses just a couple fingers. if someone were to hold a finger to my back after a while i would feel a tingling sensation going up my spine that makes me very uncomfortable. the one thing that makes it feel better is if someone were to take their full hand and rub it up my back. I HATE getting massages because of it. As they approach my upper back to the right my body will involuntarily tense up (shoulders will raise and back will be extended). it is the weirdest feeling!

it almost feels like my nerves are more exposed than others. I just wish someone knew what i was experiencing.
