So I went to Southampton Hospital today for a meeting with the consultant and my Cervical rib. She told me that there were only two options they can give me, to have surgery big risk having nerve damage, blood clots, not loosing my symptoms and the rib growing back. Or to have physiotherapy, I'm only 21 so have my whole life ahead of me but it's been causing me pain and discomfort for over 2 years. Any advice would be appreciated
