" This may sound strange but it may not be functioning correctly. This can cause pain just like the gallstones. I had a ton of tests taken (this was over ten years ago so idk the exact tests I just know that it was over a period of months and I was sent to several specialists.) The last test that finally showed it was a test that they looked at my gallbladder as I was given a shot of something that similates eating a fatty meal. In mine my gallbladder never emptied completely which cause lots and lots of pain. wish I knew the name of the test sorry. "

" Maybe a pipida scan. They inject you with radioactive dye and then they inject you with something that simulates a greasy meal to watch the gall bladder work. "
