Dear Khan- Please read my post under Neck DAmage due to TOS surgery--I too am from a family of physicians who I didn't listen too.
If you can still work--and still function--if Yoga helps--I would wait till I HAD to do something because with a cervical rib---perhaps you might need the surgery if the TOP surgeons think so--tho I'd get opinons from the MOST conservative. Unfortunately--there are some doing MANY surgeries but some of those are far too radical and ready to order surgery on a patient...as they are making their living that way. I wish I could help you more. I can just tell you what happened to me. I provide a balance here for those dead set on a surgical cure. Best, Triste
