head and on my back.? This only happens when I start to get hot & sweaty or when I pour hot water on my back when I have a bath. I clean myself everyday so the pains or not caused by me being dirty. Does any one have an idea what it could be or how i could get rid of these pains? Thanks in advance?I'm 27 so its not growing pains but thanks for the answer.

First I would say if they pain continues consult with a neurologist. You may have an impingement on a spinal nerve within your spinothalamic tract; this spinal tract is responsible for pain and temperature sensation. This problem may eventually resolve itself but if it doesn't you may be able to get an injection of cortisone into the area to reduce the pain. Good luck!
