Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Gallbladder pain (biliary colic) is typically located in the right upper quadrant (just below the rib cage on the right side) and pain may radiate to the right shoulder. Biliary colic is not triggered or aggravated with raising arms up or bending forward. HIDA scan is likely not useful in your case. You have an atypical pain, not easy to identify, but less likely from the gallbladder.

Not the usual way to trigger gall bladder pain. It usually is spontaneous or caused by eating something
