Default cervical rib=>TOS

hi everyone. I am 19 years old, and already at the end of my rope. last year my doctors discovered that i had an extra rib. they came to this after an x-ray because of my complaing of constant back,neck and shoulder pain. I was then sent to physical therapy which did nothing except cost money. I was then sent to a neurologist where i was told there was nothing wrong with me. then i developed numbness and tingling in my neck and back. they then precceded to put me on muscle relaxers which only made me sick. the newest symptom is losing my grip in my left hand and dropping things. I am a college nursing major and work as a cashier. It is embarassing when i'm ring and drop things that i thought i had a grip on. I am so fustrated. Any help would be appreciated. I don't know what kind of doctor to see and what doctor will believe that these feelings i feel are real and are not going away.
Thanks
