A member asked:
I've bilateral cervical rib. i've too much pain in my neck joint, and sourness and stiffness, please suggest me some solution, medication or surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let me explain: About 1 in 10 people who have a cervical rib develop thoracic outlet syndrome. Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Blood vessel compression or blockage or nerve compression. Physiotherapy may be helpful for some people. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. You may also need to modify or change your work or sport activities. In some cases, surgery to relieve the cause of the compression.
