Cervical Rib, extra rib from the neck spine - only on 0.2-0.5% of the population✨ I was lucky enough to spot one at the clinic.
My patient came in with upper left back pain, pinched nerve symptoms in the hand ✋🏼
Some of the symptoms just didn’t add up so we’ve decided to go for a scan.. et voilà ✨
Not saying that this was the CAUSE of her issues, as she’s had this all her life. But this extra rib is definitely influencing the amount of her symptoms ⚡️
Our body is just so incredible.
Thank you to my amazing patient who’s consented and allowed me to share this. This is just so incredible to see.
If you look closely, you’ll also see a joint on the extra rib too 👀
