Can plan when conven: A HIDA scan does not show infection, just shows a gall bladder is functioning or non functioning, which causes you pain. It then becomes a possibility to remove it and relieve your pain but is not emergent, considered elective surgery.

Inflamed gallbladder. Hida scan shows 29%. No gallstones. Symptoms are not severe, minor back pain, nausea, elevated pancreas levels (301), acid reflux. Any other option besides surgery? If so, what?
