A member asked:
Whenever i sneeze, my back hurts. can anyone tell me why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle/bone/nerve: Sneezing builds significant pressure within the thorax. It may cause muscle pain, bone pain or nerve pain (like sciatica) if the sneezes are frequent and powerful. I relates to the forceful muscle contraction associated with sneezing.
