Recently diagnosed with bi-lateral cervical ribs and military neck. my spine is crooked and I am a little upset this was never found before, due to all the doctors I have seen since the age of 15 for migraines and about age 24-25 for severe neck pains and daily daily DAILY headaches. I became 34 yesterday. CT scan, nerve conduction study, MRI, MANY x-rays and so many doctors and chiropractors. Addiction to Rx pain meds and muscle relaxers, and so on, blah blah blah. I can't take it anymore. I was 1 1/2 months from my 34th b-day when I went to a place (chiro/PT) an hour an a half from my home on a lark (heard an ad on radio) and THEY FOUND THEM. Only prob... so far away and so expensive. went for about one and a half weeks, but gas was too much along with the therapy costs, so... here I am. and I dont even really know where here is but could someone guide me into some options to explore? I feel like going into all my doctors offices and chiros and saying "see, I am not crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!" what do I do?

I copied your post here so replies on a thread of your own.

Hi and welcome.

At least finally something was found as the cause, that is a good thing.

Have you had an MRI to get a clear image of the size/shape and better details of how they are causing the symptoms?

Since you've had problems for quite awhile already if the MRI shows clearly they are large enough to be the culprit - surgery might be the best fit for you. But there is still a chance for expert/specialised PT to help also.
Some c ribs are small or only partials.
finding a expert surgeon or 2 is a good thing also - even if for consult/opinion at first.
