I coughed so hard i tore my abdominal wall and caused a hematoma.two weeks later and still in a lot of pain. how long till pain goes away...

Strain: Severe strain with tearing of muscle fibers may take a little longer to heal. Rib fractures can also occur with hard coughing. At this time I would try intermittent heat to the area which may help the healing process. Hold onto the injured area if you must cough or sneeze and avoid other strain as well.
