I was dx with a sub cervical rib about 27 months ago after I found a hard lump in my neck. I was lucky the consultant knew about it as he knew before the xray confirmed.
I was having fairly minimal symptoms. I was told to come back if it bothered me. Which it got really bad after the birth of my daughter. I tried physio and acupuncture the physio made it worse.
The left was removed in September 11 and the right us to be removed in a couple if weeks.
I am still taking pain meds from the left side, it didn't go smoothly I has complications post op. He thinks the pain should go within a few months.
I think I will need physio though.
I am hoping the next op will go better than the first.
Good luck, it is a difficult journey.
