Hurt my back in november, better now but when i cough i feel a sharp pain down my back, and down my let for that moment why?

Disc pain: When you cough, this produces pressure in the spinal cord and if you have an area pushing on a nerve, that is where the pain comes from. Would have this check by a neurologist, orthopedist or pain specialist to avoid future problems.
