What Causes Goosebumps In Thigh?

My husband, 44 yrs old, 5'9", 194 lbs., good health, works out in gym & runs, has been experiencing strange sensations on his left thigh resulting in a row of goosebumps that start on his upper left thigh and then run down the side towards his knee.

He has been experiencing intense lower back pain for the past 3 weeks and has seen his Dr., who has prescribed Celebrex. He explains the pain in his back is more intense when he stands vs. when he is sitting down.

What could be causing the goosebumps on his left thigh? I am worried there may be some kind of nerve damage due to the lower back pain?

Thank you kindly
