Brief Answer:
Proceed to UGIE before concluding muscular cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your query and concern.
This could be a possible neuromuscular pain,considering its random origin.
But having said that,you need to rule out any undiagnosed,latent peptic ulcer/gastritis.
For this you need to have an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy/UGIE through a competent Gastrointestinal surgeon.
If the endoscopy is negative,you need not worry much.
Meanwhile topical application of Voveran will gel will help,if the origin of the pain is the muscles.
Post your further queries,if any.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Not a major concern .Ultrasound abdomen will clarify everything.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your query and concern.
This is not a serious concern as per your perception.
Random in the sense that,I mean the fluctuation of pain in intensity not in the location.
You seem to have mild tenderness in the area concerned.
This usually point towards a muscular cause.
This may not be related to cancer or anything irreversible.
The condition can be very much curable if muscular in origin.
An ultrasound abdomen will help to rule out major abdominal concerns.
