What Causes Bony Bumps On Spine?

We have an appointment with my 8 year old daughter's doctor on Friday, but being the modern mom I am, I'm hitting up the internet to "research" before we get there. She has two hard, bony feeling bumps over her spine, at the base of her neck/top of her back. One bump is larger than the other. She's been complaining about the bump for a few days. She says it doesn't hurt, but it is obviously bother her if she's complaing. Based on an internet only description, any ideas on what this could possibly be? And what types of questions would be best to ask her dr?

Welcome to Healthcaremagic... based on the description you have given it's difficult to be sure but it could be just normal palpable neck spine which is visible in thin individuals... the pain may be due to a neck spasm... your doctor should be able to tell you more after a good clinical examination followed by imaging if needed...
