i m suffering from ear pain, vertigo, heavyness in my head,lack of concentration and very very important MUSCLE SPASMS in my throat since 13 months. all this started on 2nd FEB 2011. But after few months my condition was too much worst as all these symptoms were increased their intencity. but doctors were not finding reason n i was diagnosed falsly. it includes HYPOTHIROIDISM, HASHIMOTO, HYPERPARATHIROIDISM and many more. now it is dignosed as its due to EXTRA CERVICAL RIBS ON BOTH SIDES AT C7. Though got the reason but not exact solution because homeopathic doctor diagnosed it n action of these medicines is very slow. at the moment i m suffering from tingling in hands and head, pain in arms, my neck n back is completely stiff; not able to move them.today i cant hold a pen, my cup of tea.on movement of head it started heavy tingling in head. my lower body also having complaints of heavy pains n tingling. since 13 months my life is changed n i m not able to do anythig.while posting this tears are flowing as its very difficult to press tabs of keyboard. please tell me the solution for these EXTRA RIBS and good surgeon to remove it. its a request dear friends

    Hi AARTI the STD code is 0044 the area code you then need to dial is 1452 as we drop the 0 then the 6 digit number so dial 00441452xxxxxx. Good luck I am thinking of you, let me know how you get on.

    Hi Purpleskimp thanks for reply. My condition is getting worst. I am not able to sleep whole night and the doctors are still doing only experiments on me. My exams are also going on and the bad thing is that I am not able to write because of pain and tingling. I am very thankful for your help. Take care and be in touch

    Aarti~I cried when I read your post. I have two congenital cervical ribs. I have felt the sme things you described. I am so sorry that you are having these problems. I drop things all the time. I found out about my ribs after I was in an accident. The surgeons couldn't do my neck surgery because of the ribs. I went into denial that the ribs even existed. Then I was in another accident and the symptoms became worse. I travelled a lot on my job, but I knew that these symptoms would make my job impossible. I loved my job. I am still going through physical therapy, but my whole spine is "torked" out of shape. When I wake up my fingers are bent and crooked. I have to pull them back into place. It feels like setting broken fingers. I live in the USA, and there is no research here at this time. Good luck to you. Ariel
