A member asked:

Ok so i coughed an now my left side under my ribs is tense... doesn't really hurt but feels strange, a bit swollen? pulled muscle maybe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Strain muscle: Probably you have a muscle strain-sprain however if you coughed very hard and you have soft bones(osteoporosis)the possibility of stress fx of the rib may be consider.without pain I doubt it.
