I'm really worried because I got these reports saying my gallbladder is distended and something about wall thickening and pericholecystic fluid. What does that mean? And I'm having back pain, but I'm not sure if it's related to that. I've got two kidney stones and I'm already on meds for those, but I don't think this pain is due to them. Can you explain why I'm feeling this pain and suggest what I should do or take for it?

The report suggests that your gallbladder is slightly enlarged, but there is no evidence of significant inflammation or fluid collection around it. The pain in your back may be related to your gallbladder, as it can cause discomfort that radiates to the back, though its important to rule out other causes. Since you also have kidney stones, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor to clarify whether the pain is from the gallbladder or another issue, and they can guide you on appropriate pain management.

I recently had an ultrasound without any particular reason and it showed I have a gallstone that's 16mm. The thing is, I'm not having any pain or issues right now. Should I be thinking about removing my gallbladder? I'm just not sure what the best course of action is.
