A member asked:
What are the causes of numbness in hands and severe rib and spine pain?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Radiculopathy: This sounds like it is most likely to be cervical radiculopathy which results from a pinched nerve in the neck. This requires orthopedic evaluation. There are other much rarer causes, and an orthopedist or a neurologist visit can help.

Possibilities: Could be different causes or one cause. If numbness only in hands, think vascular problem or carpal tunnel. If also arms, think neck problem. Would get x rays for severe spine and rib pain that does not resolve with rest.
