Q:
I was wondering...Would it be a loss of lordosis, or a case of kyphosis that would allow your spine to to rub up against your spine and bruise it?

A:
Your question may need rephrasing. Did you really mean "your spine to  to rub up against your spine"? That would be a pretty spectacular case of swayback.  We'll try to answer if you can clarify.
