I have all the symptoms of gallbladder disease, I've had all the tests for gallbladder and all say the gallbladder is good. How acurate are these tests? Does anyone know this answer?

I had done all the tests last week, and all were good, except during physical examination of the gall bladder area (murphy's sign) was present. Tenderness in that area when you breath in and hold your breath, and they push in on the gall bladder area.  I had to demand a HIDA scan with CCK to determine gallbladder functioning levels. This is the only test that I know of that will show inflamation and if your gall bladder is working like it is supposed to.  The others only scan for stones.  So, if you haven't had this test and are still in pain like me, I would ask for this. I should have my results on Monday.  Right now a friend of mine that is Dr. said I most like have acute cholesistitis, if I spelled it right.  Which can cause all the symptom of a gall stone, and your gall bladder would need to come out if the functioning level is less than 30%... Don't give up, I have heard of so many people being turned away by their Dr's like they have nothing wrong with them.  My Dr;s have been giving me the run around for 2 weeks after an ER visit and everything. Pain , nausea, cramping, etc...Just keep being persistant. Good luck.
