Hi, I got a head cold about four days ago that I mostly assumed was from my allergies because it tends to happen every year. The issue is that around the same time I got intense lower back pain, which is horribly painful whenever I cough or bend. Is this a result of my cold?
Dear patientBack pain might be associated witChatDoctormon cols as its viral condition and leads to generalized body ache. You have backache which is getting worse with cough and bending and this indicates a different issue most likely disc prolapse. Kindly get yourself investigated for MRI of lumbosacral spine to rule out disc prolapse and helps in planning treatment.  Take proper bed rest avoid forward bending and take diclofenac plus muscle relaxant twice a day and you we be fine.
