If i had a stomach ulcer, could the pain be intensified/relieved by sitting/standing/laying down or relieved by an icy hot patch? or must be muscular?

The pain would: be associated with food intake, which would also indicate whether the ulcer is in the stomach or duodenum. Icy Hot won't help pain from ulcers, talk to your doctor.
