What Could Be Causing The Pain In The Right Of Rib Cage And Also Having Sarcoidosis Which Can Attack Healthy Tissue?

I have been having waves of 10/10 on the pain scale of pain on my right side right at my rib cage and it radiates up into my right shoulder blade. I can't eat until I'm full because my stomach becomes bloated as if I'm pregnant. I have been to the hospital twice. Have had a HIDA scan which showed in just two months I lost 20% of my gall bladder function. It is now at 80% so of course so surgeon will take it out but with everything I have read and heard I am convinced that it is my gall bladder causing the problem. I am on a strict diet and have tried multiple pain medications but it has not helped. I also have sarcoidosis which can attack healthy tissue. What could be causing this pain. Especially since it has been going on for FIVE MONTHS 24/7.

Hi. Removal of the gall bladder will help to stop the pain and get the diagnosis also. Diet and medicines may not help if there is mechanical obstruction to the gal badder outflow. What are the other tests like Liver Function Tests?
