Vasculitis and gall bladders

Has anyone had gall bladder involment with their vasculitis, I understand it can happen but can't find much on it. I have a polyp in my gall bladder that is 8mm which grew in 2weeks! I am in a lot of pain. The doctor says it should not cause pain and the vasculitis could be to blame, but he does not know much about vasculitis.

I had problem with gall stones but they were tiny and passed naturally. I don't know if it's related. I'll have to look at the "route map" sometime.

Thank you. My ultra sound next week will tell them where it is. I was back at A&E yesterday with the pain, different doctor who says not the polyp causing the pain, he thinks it is the vasculitis. His wife and mum have auto-immune problems so he was very sympathetic and understands the symptoms don't always follow the typical list of symptoms.
