Diseases of abdominal organs: liver cancer, liver abscess, stomach cancer, spleen tumor and other diseases can cause diaphragm pain when they invade the diaphragm. 3. Mediastinal diseases: the phrenic nerve travels from the neck to the diaphragm through the mediastinum, and mediastinal diseases such as mediastinal tumor, thoracic aortic aneurysm, esophageal cancer, esophagitis, etc. can stimulate the phrenic nerve and cause diaphragmatic pain. 4.
