Unlikely: Ulcers typically cause pain in the mid/upper abdomen, This discomfort could be secondary to other things, such as muscles/bones, especially if associated with movement. Try some Tylenol (acetaminophen) and heating pad. Avoid NSAIDS (i.e. ibuprofen, aleve, etc) in case this is ulcer related. Try Tums or even better, Prilosec or Nexium over the next 1-2 weeks. If not better by then, see your doctor.
