Huh?: Do you know you have an aortic aneurysm? If so, speak with your doctor about your options as this is an emergency. However if not, most likely you may have spine issue either facet joint pain, herniated disk or even a muscle trigger point or pain. Once the aneurysm is ruled out i would see a spine specialist to evaluate this further.
