My dog is wincing, whining, has bumps, and itchy skin. What's wrong?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | 85 lbs

My dog is currently having major issues. She won't get up from resting without wincing and she whines 24/7 nonstop. She has lots and lots of bumps and itches so much to the point where her skin is sensitive.

Poor Nadia sounds very painful! She could be suffering from arthritis or may have injured herself. These bumps and concurrent itchiness could be caused by fleas, mites, allergies, or a skin infection. She has to see a vet today for her issues. The vet can diagnose what is causing them so she can be treated. Please take her into a vet.
