It get damaged over time...previous gallstones can score it inside (stones are spiney). Could have thickened too. May get infected at some point. Diet causes these things-too much or too little fat in your diet. It's not reversible. I'd push for the HIDA if just to totally rule out the gallbladder issues. A little caution -if it is your gallbladder, it can rupture and that is potentially fatal. I know 2 people who died from that and one who narrowly avoided it (gallbladder weighed 6pounds and was full of gangrene).
