During a coughing spell this morning i experienced a sudden sharp deep in my left buttocks could i have herniated a disk?

Possibly: Such a pain could be radicular in nature, that is, the pinching of a nerve exiting from the spinal cord. Coughing is known to increase interverterbal disk pressure. If the pain worsens or travels further down the leg, i would see a physician to get evaluated and get a referral to physical therapy to strengthen your core muscles by doing plank exercises, among others, to stabilize your back.
