A member asked:
What does this mean: cervical rib and thoracic outlet syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerves are pinched: Thoracic outlet is the result of the big nerves and blood vessels in the neck and chest being pinched by the muscles and bones at the top of the rib cage as they exit towards the arms. A cervical rib is just one cause of this problem. It can be treated with physical therapy or surgery.
