Is Having Tiny Gall Bladder A Cause For Worry?

After an ultra sound test, the technician said my gall bladder was tiny. So I asked her what does that mean and she said it meant my gall bladder was not working. I has a Hita scan and they said that my gall bladder was very small and they could not see it so they gave me morphine to try to jolt the gall bladder so they could see it. That did not work so they said there was no point in continuing the test. Then I had a endoscopy and the doctor said my stomach was fine and I had no gall stones. I knew I did not have gall stones but something is wrong and I don t know what to do next. Can a person have a tiny gall bladder and be fine, nothing to worry about?
