Hello,
Pain in the legs and buttocks while coughing, sneezing and urinating is commonly due to damage to the sciatic nerve. It causes pain in the buttocks and may cause shooting pains and numbness down one or both legs. It may also be accompanied by lower back pain. Main cause of sciatica pain is a herniated or slipped disc. Most people with sciatica get better on their own with time and self-care treatments like physiotherapy, maintaining correct posture while sitting, walking and sleeping.
Heat therapy, rest and gentle massage with pain relieving ointments may effectively reduce discomfort. You can also take analgesics like acetaminophen or NSAIDS, Combiflam, one SOS after food to ease pain. However, if your symptoms get prolonged you should get clinically examined by a GP, get blood workouts, urinalysis and imaging tests to detect slipped disc, piriform syndrome, sciatica, tendon / ligament strain or tear. You will be treated accordingly. Take food rich n vitamin B6, B12 or supplements.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
