A member asked:

I coughed and feel a lower back pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The actual mechanism: Of a cough can generate load across a disc that may lead to a tear of the outer layer of the disc known as the annulus or even lead to a herniation of the inner disc layer (nucleus polpulsus) through this. The cough could just lead to a muscle pull in the region too! if it persists or worsens, see your physician.
