An abdominal ultrasound in 2008 showed no gallstones.how long does it take for them to form and could i have them now causing problems?

Variable: Small can be immediate! Some sludge agglutinates into a soft stone Large can be years. Recheck is a consideration with ultrasound since non invasive- low risk.

Can be pain now: Stones can form quickly and can very likely be the source of pain. I would get another ultrasound.
