Cervical rib can produce all these symptoms. If the symptoms persist or gets aggravated, surgical excision may be required.

Pain and some features in upper limbs can happen due to neurovascular compression due to these ribs
But I think gait problem may not be associated with it
I think u need brain and cervical MRI
and rule out simultaneously ENT problem
