I'm not taking any drugs or anything. its only a sharp pain when i sneeze. the rest of the time it more like discomfort. I was more worry it might be some kind of clogged artery. I am right handed. I do lifted things heavy but not more then normal and not all the time. I do play racquetball, not pro, just with friends for last three years. but I don't have any soar or tender muscles.
