Hi. A forceful sneeze can cause the precious small, un-noticed hernia to cause pain , as well as there can be fracture of the lower ribs, or a muscle spasm or rarely the disc in the thoracic region. Well, it is advisable to see a Doctor immediately to ascertain the cause and go for the investigations and management.
