BTW, I am amazed that you had 3 (???) aortic aneurysms. All discovered at the same time? Where were the locations?

@ewei6911 - The last one that was a 3.8 is now a 4.2 or 4.4 I think as of 12/25 but hadn’t moved six months prior to that. I go in yearly now for a scan and review with my surgeon. My CT scan results from the ER the night I found out it may be more than back pain:

1. Severe aneurysmal dilatation of the suprarenal abdominal aorta measuring up to 7.9 x 6.4 cm with extensive right eccentric mural thrombus and adjacent periaortic fat stranding. Findings are concerning for impending aortic aneurysm rupture. Additional considerations include mycotic and inflammatory aneurysm. Recommend emergent vascular surgery consultation.
2. Aneurysmal dilatation of the infrarenal abdominal aorta measuring up to 3.8 x 4.0 cm. Aneurysmal dilatation of the ascending thoracic aorta measuring up to 5.7 x 6.0 cm.
