Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome back.
Below is my opinion about your problem after reviewing all the answers.
You have leg pain only while standing with the cough.
So nerve or vascular compression related pain should be ruled out by detailed neurological and clinical evaluation.
Mild nerve compression by bulging disc can lead to such a presentation.
However, in the meanwhile, it'll be better to get yourself checked up by a doctor for a specific examination of the affected region. Initially, you can take anti-inflammatory medication (like Ibuprofen 400mg 8th hourly after food for five days considering any unaccustomed activity can lead to mild muscle strain.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
