Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
A gall bladder stone measuring 1.7 cm is a concern indeed. If you have had pain in the right upper abdomen then most likely its because of the stone. Your stone can be observed for a while if you did not experience pain or jaundice. However further growth of the stone requires removal by surgery.
