Is Hyperkinetic Gallbladder real?

Upper RQ pain, comes and goes for the last year and a half, but getting worse the last two months.  Sometimes it spreads around to the back, and my right shoulder hurts now too.  US was normal, other than a small polyp on the gallbladder.  ALT liver enzyme level was a bit high last month, but has come down to almost normal levels now (63).  HIDA scan showed 88% EF.  GI doc and surgeon both said this was fine, but reading a lot of anecdotal evidence on the internet that an EF this high, may be just as bad as having an EF too low.  This seems like new evidence, so a lot of docs aren't on board with this yet.  I don't know what to do at this point.  Scared of having my GB removed, only to have no change and then not have a gallbladder anymore.  Would like to keep all my internal organs where they are!  Any southern California docs know about this?
