• I had a cerebral angiogram performed on 5-31-06. It verified that I have approx. a 6 inch tear in my vertebral artery. I'm only 27 yrs old. Do you know how this could happen in just everyday life? I have also seen a neurologist and he has placed me on 325mg of asprin a day for 6 months to try and help it heal... Is this the normal cure to this kind of injury???? Also I have good and bad days somedays my neck/upperback hurt pretty bad and somedays doesnt hurt at all......Any feedback you have would be great.....THANK YOU....
