Extra Bilateral Cervical Ribs/Cervical Headaches
 

Hi there!!!

I'm new on here, and just wanted to reach out to anyone else that has Spare Cervical Ribs in their necks. I have Bilateral ones. I recently had a Specialist tell me I'm most likely suffering from Cervical Headaches as well. My range of motion is not hindered at all, so injections are not needed. Although, Physical Therapy just isn't affordable , and really a Chiropractor isn't either. (Even with insurance) :( My Dr. has tried me on a couple different things, that hasn't worked out for one reason or another so I'm in pain EVERY DAY!!!!!

This has all been a very recent diagnosis to me. And a lot of web sites use technical mumble jumble that's hard to understand!!! I would appreciate any help, or advise from anyone!!!

Thank you!!!!

Hello Kris,

Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

I'm not totally sure but you could post over on the
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Forum

You could also try a search there for specific words to bring up similar posts/threads.

Yes, our Thoracic outlet syndrome forum is the place to find info about extra cervie ribs..

Posture improvement/awareness may help, but it takes time to notice improvements.
Often once those ribs are cause severe pain, surgery /removal is usually the next step..

I'll check that out, thank you for the info!!!!

Nice to meet you!!
