Hello,

My husband has known for a long time that he has cervical ribs from an xray when
he
was younger. He's had a lot of trouble with tingling in his arms. Recently, we
stumbled upon TOS on the internet and we suspect that is what he has. He's
always
saying that it feels like there's no circulation in his arms, especially the
last few
months. He's age 40.

Here are some questions I have:

Have any of you had cervical ribs removed surgically? If so, was it worth it?

Has anyone who still has cervical ribs found any other treatments that really
work?

Thanks,

CM
