Why do your muscles ache after sneezing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One theory: If you have an underlying neck or back problem such as a herniated disc, sudden movements such as sneezing or coughing can potentially cause the disc to exert pressure at the nerve and cause pain. A forceful sneeze could certainly cause a temporary pull/strain in the muscle as well.
