A member asked:

I have a really sharp pain in back for a few months in one spot, and just a few days ago my face got puffy and sharp pains in bones when cough/sneeze?

Specializes in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Unrelated: I think you have 2 problems. The pain in your back is likely musculoskeletal. The facial puffiness would be concerning for sinus disease. See your doctor for assessment and treatment. All the best.
