Pain In Upper Quadrant, Nausea, Vomiting, Reflux, Burping. Normal Stools. Do I Have Gall Bladder Dysfunction?

I have been having dull pain in my upper left quadrant for months now. This has gotten increasingly worse in the last 2 months. Now, I also have nausea, vomiting, reflux, and constant burping. Stools are normal. My pain gets so bad at times that I am doubled over. I am only able to eat small bits at a time and am losing wt. I had a gallbladder us done, which was normal and my labs for gb are all normal. I had a hida scan done this am. When the cck was injected, my pain was exactly duplicated only much worse. My percentage was 33%. Does this mean gb disfunction? I realize my pain is on the wrong side but I don't know what else to think. I am so miserable and my doc thinks I'm crazy or a liar. Either one makes me feel so helpless. Can u give any advice? Thank you so much. T

Hi and welcomet to HCM.
Have you ever considered stomach issue. This sounds like gastritis,gerd or hiatus hernia. You should do gastroscopy to evaluate this. Gallbladder may cause such symptoms too. But if they dont see stones or polyps I dooubt this is causing your symptoms. You should also do CT scan, there might be cyst in spleen, liver or pancreas which can press your digestive system. If your symptoms persist you shouldnt ignore it and you should insist on those diagnostic tests.
Wish you good health.
