Question : I have pain in upper right abdominal region. Seems to subside until I cough, have bowel movement, or bend over - whenever muscle is being used. Just sitting , pain is noticeable but mild. Seemed to start after a golf session at driving range a couple days ago. Thought it might be muscle pull?
