A member asked:

I have cervical rips im getting pain in my coller bones could this course pain or could it b to do with the limted movment in my left shoulder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cervical rib: An extra, small rib on the lower cervical vertebra can cause shoulder pain because it may trap or cause pressure on the nerves and blood vessels that pass behind the clavicle and into the axilla to provide sensation and blood flow to your arm. The symptoms can occur anywhere from your finger tips to your neck. If this is persistent, the treatment is to remove the extra rib.
