My husband was told that he has an Ascending Aneurysm and leaky valve about 9 years ago. Over those years he has had massages and adjustments by a chiropractor. He was sore the other day, so I gave him my massage appointment. The masseuse would not take care of him because of the AA. She said that she would need a note from his Dr. We never were told not to do this or gave it any thought! Researching this topic has led me to believe that he has been very fortunate so far. I feel really dumb. 😔
