OK, so my gi doc says

That the pain I have in my upper right back isn't b/c of my gallbladder. He wants my PCP to order a CT scan to see if something is wrong with the spine/nerves in the thoracic area.

When I turn my head in a certain way, I feel pain to my elbow. For no apparent reason, I feel tingling in my hand and fingers.

Does this sound like thoracic issues to you?
