Have appt with pcp this Friday. What would prompt me to go to emergency room if is gall bladder? More severe pain? More severe pain in particular region?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Mainly pain is on the right side and so also in right shoulder joint.
Possible reason may be .
1 Hepatomegaly , diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of liver .
2 Gall bladder stone or cholecystitis , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination of gall bladder ( Murphysi's sign ) .
3 Thickened pleaura is also most important reason of such type of pain . Diagnosis can be confirmed by X Ray chest as well ultrasound .
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination as well ultrasound of this area is very important in this case.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
