I am a 52 year old I fell on the ice and January. Which led to A cat scan of the MRI and then I was sent to a neurologist because nothing was found in my doctor said the pain was all in my head. The neurologist then told me to bring my disks the head from my other doctors and the minute he looked at my MRi He said you have an aneurism and he sent me to get in and MRA to confirm it which confirmed it was 7 mm that was in March then I had a angiogram in June and I was bleeding out and they clamp me to the table which was a horrible horrible pain. 3 weeks later I was in surgery to go in my groin again to stent and coil a 9 mm aneurism in which they put some type of angio seal in my groin. I spent the night in the hospital and came home the next day and the doctors told me to continue my for Linda 90 mg an 81 mg aspirin They didn't express all important this medication was and didn't give me any when I left the hospital so it took me 2 days to get the medication the pharmacy said didn't have it in stock and I told them to find a pharmacy that had the medication they did but 5 days later I woke up with numbness in my left calf it was like I had no bone in my ankle and foot and my son had to help carry me outside there was no pain just numbness I got to the hospital, they took me right in and found a blood clot that had built up where stent is. The doctors then kept me for A-day um right after surgery my leg started to work again and I could walk 3 steps over to the tiolet that was in my Room and That was the best feeling I ever felt in my whole life. I am taking one day at a time now I haven't smoked a cigarette since. Cigarets are very very very bad when you have a stent and coil in your head , I hope this helps
