Aortic Aneurysms – Introduce yourself & meet others

I have chronic pain in my chest since those surgeries. The best guess from my doctors is that major scar tissue is causing the pain. I’ve tried a few things to see if I can stop this pain (medication, acupuncture, cortisone injections, lidocaine patch) but so far nothing has helped much. Curious if anyone else has experienced chronic pain after surgery(ies).

In addition, my aneurysm was caused due to a genetic marker HLAB 27. Does anyone else have this?

Hi, I scheduled for genetic testing since my father and brother both had aneurysms. Don't totally understand it.

Just diagnosed with AA - told dr that both my parents and brother had AA but she did not mention it possibly being genetic. Interesting, thank you. Sorry, can't offer any suggestions re pain. Am waiting to see specialist.
