Thanks for your insight. I was looking into doing a HIDA scan to assess the function of the gallbladder. I've done an MRCP with no contrast, and it was clear. I am just worried that if my pain is not flared up, then nothing will be shown in the scans.

@chx
I see your point.
HIDA scan also measures the gallbladder’s emptying rate.
Another option would be to check with your doctor if a test could be done when you have an attack.
Was an ultrasound done of the gallbladder?

@chx It sounds like Gall Bladder trouble.I had a similar pain in stomach that radiated to back before I got my Gall bladder removed 20 yrs ago.An ultrasound diagnosed it.
