Hi @kaylabrooks326 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I have been in your shoes and the hike is not fun! I woke up in 2007 with the worst pain I have ever felt.

"The mildest and most common symptom of gallbladder disease is intermittent pain called biliary colic. Typically, a patient experiences a steady gripping or gnawing pain in the upper right abdomen near the rib cage, which can be severe and can radiate to the upper back." --- Gallbladder Disease: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/gallbladder-disease

Can you answer a couple of questions? Is the pain continuous or does it come and go? When they did the CT did they do it with or without contrast?

The pain is pretty constant, but it will ease up a little bit every once in a while. The CT was done with contrast!
