Hi all!.. I am a paraplegic. I have been having constant goosebumps starting at my back and im tired of it. To get it out of my mind, I try shaking my hands. It's relieved for awhile but comes back. I can't have a good sleep laying down since i get irritated by this. I could sleep if im doing something sitting down. I tried emptying my bowel and bladder but still the same. Anyone experienced this before?..

I get this as a form of AD, and it's often spurred from a UTI, or other bladder/ bowel issues. Have your urine checked out . . . and if that's clean then check for kidney or bladder stones. Heck, I even got the chills once from an ingrown toe nail.

It's quite possible since i've had a history of bladder stones. I had one, as big as an egg, removed last year.
One big trouble for that minute problem!...

I very often get goose bumps on my right leg for no apparent reason. I am neither cold nor hot and I don't feel them but I see them.
Good luck.

qbounce is right, uti and stones could be some of the symptoms. Spasms could be explained as sharp pain, maybe a pin and needle like or dull pain or also suddenly excruciating pain
