Dear Anonymous,
Backpain related to coughing,sneezing,lauging etc. related to problems of the lungs and/ ribs and surrounding tissues.It can also be due to cervical spondilitis.Kindly get your chest X-ray PA and X-ray cervical spine AP/Lateral done and get back to me.In the meantime take Tab.Flanzen-D twice daily with Tab.Palitex 1 at night.

Dear friend,
As per your mail i feel that you are suffering from cervical spondilosis.Please take an xray to confirm the pathology.try to avoid pillows while sleeping and use heat packs in the pain area to relieve pain.

hi,
is it a localized pain or is it pinpoint.
is there a lump which can be felt.
if yes do frictional massage on tat area.
consult a physio for details of frictional massage.
try using physio modality called ultrasound to that area.
back manipulation/ mobilization can help.
