Sprained?: It appears more likely a sprain than an ulcer. Did you do some heavy lifting or exertion a few days prior to the onset of this pain? If you have been exercising strenuously , you may consider easing up or altering your routine. Try heating pad and NSAID for a few days to see if these help. If not, get a 2nd opinion from another doctor.
