Brief Answer:
Multiple stones in the gall bladder

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. It indicates the possibility of multiple small stones being present in the gall bladder. Unless you have a pain over the affected area you need not get concerned. However, a cause for concern might arise if the small stones are of size less than that of the common bile duct and if they obstruct the same.

Let me know if I could help further.
