Ya, I think must be defect that happens in the wound, like some people are born w/one leg shorter than other. I will ask my doc next visit. U could check genetic disease websites.
Thanks to all that replied!...I have looked through many weird genetics of neck and shoulders. I never found one that included cervical ribs. Next I am going to look at pesticides and nuclear fallout. I was born in rosewell, new mexico, maybe I am an alien?.

16honda-did you have your cervical ribs removed?
