Intermittent pain can be concerning.

_Possible causes:_

1. _Muscle strain_: Overstretching or straining a muscle can cause pain, especially when bending, stretching, or taking deep breaths.

1. _Apply heat or cold packs_: Try applying heat or cold packs to the affected area to relieve pain and discomfort.

4. _Consult a doctor_: If the pain persists or worsens, consult a primary care physician or an orthopedic specialist for a proper evaluation and guidance.

1. _Severe pain_: If the pain is severe, sudden, or worsens over time.
