Colic: Gallbladders usually hurt when the gallbladder contracts on a gallstone/sludge that is too big to pass out of the gallbladder into the bile duct. The gallbladder can become infected + the pain may be assoc with fevers, vomiting etc. Pancreatitis can be another complication. Not sure what a "digestive exam" is but i doubt it had any effect on your gallbladdder unless it included a high fat meal.
