Is Sharp Pain In Lower Abdomen Upon Coughing Suggestive Of Muscle Strain?
I have a sharp pain in my lower right abdomen when I cough. I have had a cold for a couple weeks. The sneezing from my cold caused my back to go out. I went to the clinic and got prescriptions for tramodol, cyclobenzaprine, a cough medicine pill, and another pill I can t remember the name of. They caused constipation. A few days later my stomach pain appeared. Could this just be muscle strain or should I be worried?
