### Patient: Doctor, I have been experiencing some unusual symptoms lately such as back pain, leg cramps, flushing, and my urine has a strange color and odor. What do you think is wrong with me?
### Doctor: Based on the symptoms you have described, you may have a thoracic aortic aneurysm. This is a condition where the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body, becomes swollen in the chest area. It can cause back pain, leg cramps or spasms, and flushing due to poor blood flow to the lower part of the body. The unusual color or odor to your urine may also be a sign that your kidneys are not functioning properly due to reduced blood flow from the aneurysm.
