Question
Hello doctor,
I work as a standing worker for 12 hours a day, I stood for about 5 minutes, then my right side appeared a sharp pain in the diaphragm on the ribs. I press on the pain, when I raise my hand, it hurts, but when I sit and think for 5-10 minutes, it goes away, when I stand, it hurts again. So the doctor asked me what is the pain appearing in the diaphragm in the ribs? Thank you doctor.
