My ultrasounds showed NO STONES.... until I almost die when I got so many my gall bladder exploded almost killing me. My surgeon told me only a small percentage of stones ever shows up on ultrasound.
My recent HIDA scan indicated a low functioning gallbladder. I also had an ultrasound which showed no indications of inflammation or stones. It could be that your gallbladder just isn't doing its job.
Yes you can i had numerous admissions 2 hospital before i was diagnosed. You have 2 keep hiunding your doctors until they do more that is what i had to do. Unfortunately i had my gall bladder removed and 14 months on im still suffering
