<s>[INST] Have significant pain and soreness in my lower right ribcage and around to my spine for several months. Xrays, HIDA, etc have been done. Hida showed gall bladder at 31% of 45 % I guess meaning bad gall bladder. Can just the gall bladder malfunctioning cause this type pain? the pain comes and goes and it does not matter if I have an empty stomach or full stomach or could it be something else that has not been diagnosed? [/INST] Dear Sir/MadamI have gone through your query and read your symptoms.In my opinion, it could be your gall bladder, but not to say that there can be no other causes, usually an MRI of the abdomen or contrast ct can help delineate problem more easily.I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.ThanksDr Narender Saini </s>
