A member asked:
If a diseased gallbladder is not contracting, why does this produce pain?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Due to infections: Recurrent infection causes the damage to the mucosa and muscle wall of gall bladder, resulting pain , also it will not contract , looses normal absorption function, in time stones will be formed.

Cramping: The gallbladder isn't working so the smooth muscles contract. It will be worse with fatty foods. See a surgeon.
