Your gallbladder is : Not functioning properly and is way below the lowest normal of 30%. It accounts for your shooting pains in your abdomen which radiates to your back. You do not have to have stones to feel bad. It accounts for your other problems also. At least now you have an answer. At times you might run a low grade fever (100.5 or more) you don't have to have stones with a 9% . Answer- surgery.

Symptoms too?: Fever is non-specific and doesn't point at the gb alone. Do you have any typical gb symptoms like pain after meals in the ruq? Some illnesses of the gb are caused by build up of cholesterol inside the wall of the gallbladder. No stones will be seen. If you have RUQ pain and 9% ejection fraction from the gallbladder not emptying properly, consider discussing these findings with a general surgeon.
