RUQ pain is a classic gallbladder symptom ... while it certainly isn't a good idea to have your gallbladder taken out just because you don't know what else it is, you should still make absolutely sure that it's *not* your gallbladder. This would include bloodwork, abdominal ultrasound, and HIDA scan. I think there might be a couple other tests but I'm not sure what they are. I'm guessing that if your doctor was close to having you do surgery that you've probably already had all the tests, but just thought I'd mention it anyway. I'm having pretty bad gallbladder problems right now and will be talking to a surgeon tomorrow about getting it taken out.
