Puzzling: Rudimentary cervical ribs can result in thoracic outlet syndrome, but i don't know of any relation to dementia. Your age is listed as 30; very young for dementia. You need to have a serious discussion with your doctor regarding his/her recommendations, and possibly an evaluation with a neuropsychiatrist also. If you're taking medications or drugs, these need review for any cognitive effects.

Comments: Not fully clear as to what you have been advised to do. Most cervical ribs are of no importance in absence of a traumatic event. Your dementia may well be a more important area to treat. Meds and therapies are very helpful. See a neurologist and rehab doctor and proceed.
