Normally we have only ribs attached to the Chest region... However certain individuals can have an extra rib bone higher up in the neck compressing important nerves
Next Steps
Consult a Neurologist... Physiotherapy is required... Botox injections are also helpful.. Severe symptoms may need surgery,but we are getting ahead of ourselves
Health Tips
Dont take stress .. Dont Google your disease,instead go to a Neurologist or even a good Orthopaedician dealing with spinal surgery who can help you out
