Hi,

Please understand that this is not related to gallbladder directly.

I advise you to undergo X-ray lumbar spine AP and lateral view to rule out lumbar spine disease.

Also get ultrasound abdomen to rule out any pancreatic disease.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi,
