Hey all - Wondering if you can help?
I was in hospital the other day with what is now known as a severe Gallstone attack. And just had a ultrasound which found the followering . . .

There are multiple mobile gallstones in the lumen of the gallbladder measuring up to 4.6mm in diameter. However, it is the smaller gallstones and debris which are more important since these are the ones more likely to be passed down the biliary tract to produce classical biliar colic of course. The wall of the gall bladder is abnormally thickened (2.5mm) and the appearances suggest minor degrees of chronic low grade cholecystitis. the bile duct measures 3.4mm in diameter just below the porta hepatis and there is no intra-hepatic or extra-hepatic duct dilatation or any other more convincing sidn of biliary tract obstuction.

Conclusion : Chololithiasis with possible associated chronic cholecystitis.

Can someone tell me what all this means? what they possibly will do to treat it? Does it have to be treated straight away (only worried about this because so close to christmas)?

I see my doctor tomorrow, but was just hoping some one could give me a little information about what to expect etc. PLease
