I am a 59 years old male having sudden pain in my back (right side) with pain in the bones connecting to chest. When sitting there is no pain and while getting up I get severe pain and then suddenly the pain disappears. Some times the pain is at the upper center of the stomach. The back pain is exactly at the elbow level and gives impression of sprain. No pain while sleeping, walking etc. Please advise.
