The stomach is located high in the abdominal cavity, just under the diaphragm. Most people think it is lower, and when they are asked to put their hand on their stomach they usually place it over the transverse colon and small intestines. So, I will answer this question as having pain in your Right Upper Quadrant. The muscle in this area is the right external oblique. It is also possible that you have a rib that has popped out of place. If this is the case, then the best thing to do is just give it time and it will find its way back into its place in a few days. If the pain persists more than three days and you are having difficulties with activities of daily living, like getting dressed, eating, brushing your teeth, etc, then it may be best to see a primary care provider.
