What Causes Intense Left-sided Back Pain Upon Sneezing?

I sneezed about two days ago and got this awful pain on my lower left side more towards my back. It started getting a little better the past few days but I just sneezed again and made it hurt very bad again. Not sure what muscles I pulled but it really hurts.

Hello,

Without an exam, I can only give general information, and simple muscle pulls are quite common, aspirin-like drugs are most helpful for the pain. Heating pads are another possibility.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
