thank you for replying....im not sure the hida scan was done with some type of iv it hurt when they put it through.. i had an ultrasound done very first thing but was over a year ago and when i first started with symptoms... i have had both upper and lower scope and blood work has not been redone to check liver and pancreas for almost little under a year...im lost right now i feel they have done everything but feel my symtpoms have gotton worse so if it is my gallbladder it should be rechecked it hurts to take a deep breath i get headaches above my right eye and the pain just keeps getting worse in my side and right shoulder blade...

You should have had an ultrasound of your upper abdomen instead of a CT scan because the CT has a lot of radiation.  An ultrasound can check your liver, pancreas, gallbladder, all without radiation.  

If your HIDA scan wasn't with CCK, it wouldn't help show if your gallbladder stopped working or not.  

Have you been tested for Celiac disease?  Did they do an upper or just lower endoscopy?
