Celiac Artery Aneurysm: Anyone else with same illness?

I was told by my vascular surgeon that the pain under my right ribs and into my right shoulder blade could be referred pain from the liver, possibly due to a small embolism from the celiac aneurysm to the liver. He is concerned about that for me because I have already had one aneurysm to my spleen causing a splenic infarct. (This is not common.) I will have a CT scan this week to see if my liver has any signs of an infarct. He took the symptoms related to the pain in my right side seriously. If it is, I will post to you all again this weekend. I am hoping it is nothing. (Also for me, the pain in my right ribs and shoulder blade occurred last summer and I told my vascular surgeon about it when I saw him recently. Even though I am fine now, he took what I said about the right side pain seriously.)

Thank you for the information.
I had 2 CT scans one a little over a year ago and one 2 years ago. Mine were fine so am hoping yours will be fine too but please let me know what they find. The area of pain is the same as mine.
My pain was pretty much 24/7 for about 4 years. I still have it but its not quite as bad. Mine also hurts in my right waist area.
I do not live by any big hospital. Am wondering if you live close to major hospital as it sounds to me as though you are getting quality care and are being listened to.
