I went to the emergency room for a severe soar throat with swelling. I told the excellent ER doctor that I had been experiencing grip problems. She suggested I believe an MRI. I was immediately admitted afterwards and told about the aneurysms. If not for this, I probably wouldn't have known until a rupture? This happened in Tampa and I didn't have insurance and was sent home basically to die with the warnings of don't strain, bend over, etc. I finally made it back to Tennessee, my home state, and was seen in Nashville. They couldn't believe the non options I was given and no help. Dr. Robert Mericle fixed me right up. Saud I was just before having a major problem. I will add, before I had the surgery, I did have a stroke 😩‼️
