My doctor wants to do a hide a scan she is convinced it is my gall bladder. I have tremors with knife stabbing pain everywhere. Please if you can give me any advice. It is destroying my quality of life.

Hello thank you for writing us here.
Such pains on "ribs" are felt but to inflammation of gall bladder or due to inflammation of cartilage of bones, commonly called costochondritis.
The treatment of both is different. You should get yourself checked and examined properly with Proper investigations.
Ultrasound abdomen and x ray with CBC.
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
