Default Painful sneezes

I seem to have some sort of strange cold at the minute, started Saturday night after a night out and I suddenly became very tired, my eyes were painful, puffed up and I had a stinking headache.

Managed to relax yesterday and it mostly cleared, just have a runny nose now and slightly bunged up.

Felt a sneeze coming on about 5 minutes ago, and after a single "normal" sneeze it was followed by a second "wraith of god" type sneeze, a really loud one.

But here's the odd bit - I sneezed so hard that all the muscles in my upper body, chest and arms must have contracted or something and i've been left in complete agony for the last 5 minutes as though i've overdone it at the gym.

All my upper limbs were numb and the pain was quite bad.

Anyone had this before? I'm ****ting it now in case I need another sneeze.

You should hear me sneeze. Think I might go check the guinness book of records for the loudest sneezer, I've been assured I am the loudest, they are fairly violent too anything spillable in hand needs to be put down in haste to prevent sneeze induced mass spillage. I just live with it. Although the sneezing fits (allergies ) are a PITA

I have something similar on occasion, but the pain only lasts for a couple fo seconds. A sneeze can be pretty violent, I suppose it's just possible you could overbrace of it and end up pulling / straining muscles as a result?

I've managed to sneeze, sneeze and burp, sneeze and burp AND fart at the same time, but I don't envy your current predicament.

I wouldn't worry, it's probably just bird flu

Get it checked out at the Drs mate, at the very least to get something for the discomfort, but also cause there are some nasty upper respiratory infections going around at the mo.

Feel better soon!

LOL, not quite that bad.

but it has turned a few heads though


A full power sneeze in a quiet church during a funeral was a low point of this problem, at least the prat with ringing mobile phone got more unapproving looks than I did

Quite often when I sneeze it makes my shoulders hurt and occasionally my biceps with exactly the kind of pain you describe. The wife think's I'm exaggerating when it happens I just put it down as "one of those things", it's happened to me for years.

i get that too if its a violent sneeze, i get pains in both my arms, like pins and needles but more of a burning like pain.

I get that too, think it might have something to do with pressure, espesially if you have a blocked nose the pressure is increased, so when you sneeze it creates an elevation in blood pressure for a short time.......maybe, then again maybe not
