Hi recently I've been feeling occasional back tickling.  It comes once in a while and it only last for a few seconds.  But I've also been doing a lot of bike riding and that seems to be hard on my back.  It's hard to describe the feeling that I'm getting, its not necessarly like someones tickling me, but its just an uncomfortable feeling.  Any chance this could be something serious?  I am 29 yrs old.

Does it have the feeling like your feet when they go to sleep?  It sounds like a nerve-related type of problem.  You may be riding in one position too long and it is causing a nerve to be compressed.  It will feel like the uncomfortable sensation you experience.  You may want to do other types of exercises to work muscles that are not worked while you bike. This may help loosen up anything that is compressing the nerves.  A chiropractor may be able to help by giving you an adjustment.  I believe this is nothing serious and it will go away in time.
