What Causes Bruised Spine And Stretch Marks On Mid Back?

My teenage son has significant stretch marks on his mid back which I understand is normal, however when I looked at his back earlier, the spine looked bruised in the mid section for possibly 6 vertebrae. Is this normal or do you think it requires further investigation. He complains of back pain but when I touched the "bruised" bits he didn't register pain.

Hello and welcome to HCM,

I had gone through the case and found that it might be either muscle spasm or swelling of intervertebral swelling or spinal slip disc.

So I will advise you to go for MRI of spine, so that can know the exact cause of pain.

After that take orthopedic advise. Meanwhile do not bend by back and not any exercise.

Hope my answer will be effective for you.
Thanks,
