Gallstones can range in size from a grain of sand to a golf ball. The gallbladder can develop a single large gallstone, hundreds of tiny stones, or both small and large stones. Gallstones can cause sudden pain in the upper right abdomen.
The pain radiates to the right shoulder and upper back. It is caused by the obstruction of the bile ducts by the gallstones, which pass from the gallbladder or liver to the small intestine. The most common cause of gallstone formation is too much cholesterol in the diet that cannot be handled by the bile from the liver.
