I am 20 years old. 6 months back I had felt numbness on my left hand (mostly on the fingers) and little pain on my left shoulder. I have taken x-ray and it has shown the presence of cervical rib. Then as per the advice of doctor I have taken some tablets, thn after few days every difficulties have gone. Then after 4 months I had felt the same pain and numbness. I took mri cervical spine and Mr. angiogram, the result showed the presence of cervical rib bilaterally but no evidence of compression. Then I was advised to take Neuro conduction velocity test by the doctor. It shows that severe compression on median nerve at the point of wrist. What shall I do now? Is all these problems happening because of cervical rib? What shall I have to do? Can I get rid of these pain without surgery?
