          There are so many causes for back pain, I seriously doubt,a,mole could have that type of influence.  Most moles are superficial and not at the level of nerve endings.  And even then, they are just cells integrated into skin.

                Have the mole checked by a dermatologist to be sure it is benign and nothing else. AND, if you feel like you have an aneurysm, you don't say what symptoms, see your doc and get evaluated.  Aneurysms can occur just about anywhere and there are important arteries at the base of the skull.  The Streptococcus that causes Strep throat and rheumatic heart disease can also disseminate throughout the hematologic system and lodge here or there on an arteriole wall, much later causing an aneurysm and, while very small and usually asymptomatic, when they are located in the brain, as is the case with a younger friend of ours, it is risky.
