Okay, I know this is a little weird, but I have been able to get answers to just about everything else I've asked on A2K, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
For a few days now, I have had a cough. Went to the docs at sick call and they said it was just a virus that needed to run its course. That was fine, but this is a strange kind of cough. When I cough, I have pain in my left hamstring !
It isn't such a wracking cough that it would be some kind of pain that comes from an unrelated injury being jostled about - it just doesn't feel like that, and I don't have any hamstring injury in my memory.
I'm wondering if there's some kind of nervous connection that may involve my sciatic nerve, or something. has anyone else ever experienced or heard of a cough making their hamstring hurt?
I believe I would seek still another medical opinion.
@snood,
Weird... haven't heard of that.
Sounds like you say, snood, some kind of nerve connection, maybe referred?
They're not two separate things, right? Both happen at same time?
@snood,
Cough is a refex phenomenon characterized by a sudden, violentexpulsion of air from the mouth, with or without sputum, after deep inspiration and closure of the glottis. This is the most frequent respiratory symptom.
