If you are talking about feeling bumps as you run your fingers down the spine, what you are feeling are a normal part of the structure of the spinal vertebra called the spinous process... Your spine consists of the vertebral bodies that are the main weight-bearing part of the spine, with a pointed "arch" that makes a tunnel where the spinal cord (the nerves that make your body work (everything from the internal organs to the muscles in you extremities) runs... These "bumps" are the tip of the spinous processes and serve as a place where muscles attach... To see a picture of what I am talking about, copy & paste the following web address into your browser: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinous_process
