Can lower back hurt from coughing a lot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You bet it can: Coughing can result in Valsalva straining and increased pressure within and over back. If discogenic protrusion is present, pain will accentuate, but even if anatomically intact, a wracking cough can cause lumbosacral strain/sprain.
