is it possible that a trip and fall accident striking the stomach/chest area would cause the gallbladder to swell or be injured where it would need to be removed?

it started on a wednesday when i tripped and fell in my house striking the right side stomach/chest areawhich immediately started causing pain, and finally by saturday when the pain did not subside, i went to e.r. after doing multiple tests they could not find out what the problem was(even after an ultrasound of gall bladder), and finally after admitting me on saturday for further tests, that sunday the doctor ordered a hida scan?

Not likely since it's protected by the ribcage and tucked under the liver.  What happened and what symptoms have you got?
