Friends,
I am having bilateral cervical ribs in c7. I m 27 yrs old frm India. Pbm diagnosed 8 yrs back in my college life. Consulted chief neurosurgeon. He said surgery not possible and taught stretch exercise. Did it but no improvement in symptoms. From then life has been very painful for me. Struggled to write exams due to pins and needles in shoulder blade and arms and fingers. Got selected in campus interview in major IT concern in India but had to quit after working for 1 and half yrs due to intolerable pain. Tried homeopathic treatment for 1 year but symptoms didnt improve. As long as i m at rest my symptoms fade away . And as soon as i do any work (driving bike,carryibg very small weight , using computer or mobile....) symptoms come again. After 3 yrs now i started studying for competitive exams for government jobs .. almost 4 months of study and symptoms came again. Feeling depressed.. dont know wat career to select. And which hospital to go for better treatment. Plz help. |

Marie J, You can improve , if not recover if your symptoms fade away..with rest..
Search out advanced/expert therapist or chiropractors that do soft tissue and much hands on work. maybe-- Top rib mobilisations alignment /posture work/head & shoulders not forward or hunched or rolled get checked for trigger points in muscles ( you can't stretch or relax a muscle that has trigger points.. explore the sticky threads section above on the main TOS page- \https://www.neurotalk.org/forum24/

Avoid any manual therapy, mobilizations etc by PTs in India (especially visiting ones from abroad, you dont want to be their experiment) Again, gradual strengthening may work, or wearing a shoulder brace (look for those that gently bring your shoulders back) Also explore surgery as a last option. You are a case of true TOS and a proper cardio-thoracic surgeon may actually do wonders. Only go to those who have done the surgery many times before and ask to speak to ex patients. |
