Anyone hurt their back from coughing?

[Ledkr]

I have had a bad cough and cold for a week now. I'm coughing non stop and spend a whole day in bed as I felt.so Ill.
However on Wednesday o developed a very painful and stiff lower back. It's probably the scro area and hurts more when I cough and I can't bend over.
I wonder if it's the cough which has caused it as I had nothing before.
Am utterly fed up

I once got a broken rib from coughing.
another time muscle ache.

it sucks
hope you feel better soon.

Thanks stripey. My pain is right low down on my sacral joint but hurts when I cough so I wonder if it's that which has caused it

I do suffer with a bad back anyway, but yes it has been brought on by coughing, and a sneeze and putting my socks on...

Hope oyu feel better soon.

Hiya ledkr, last summer I had a terrible cough that lasted about 6 weeks. It got to the point where I'd coughed so much and for so long I cracked a rib and pulled a muscle in my back. Was very painful. Hope your cough buggers off soon

It’s surprisingly common, putting your back out with a strenuous cough. Hope you feel better soon . If that cough hangs around, get it checked out.

Thanks lovely ladies for replies.
Gonna get checked out tomorrow hopefully as will need a sick note.for work.

Im also another rib breaker... coughing and breaking a rib is ouch. Continuing to cough with a broken rib is something else all together.

Hope you feel better soon OP

Badly torn a stomach muscle from coughing...it sucks 😢. I feel your pain OP.

I once sneezed whilst bending over and put my back out so badly I couldn’t move for a week Had newborn dd so that was fun!

Hope you’re feeling better soon, the docs should be able to prescribe some anti-inflammatories to help it heal faster.
