What Causes Cervical Ribs, Hands, Shoulder, Legs, Feet Tingling With Pain?

Hi, I am a male, 25 years old, and a total hypochondriac. Felt it d be safe to lead with that. I ve recently been experiencing some tingling/ minor pain in my hands and my left shoulder, as well as a bit of tingling which sometimes extends to my legs and feet. To be honest, I m not too worried about it, but I thought I d ask. I have no numbness or weakness, I run regularly, all other functions are fine! Mentally, I m a-ok. But for the past few weeks i ve been spending much of my days writing in bed (probably in various uncomfortable positions). I m a writer professionally, and we re in the middle of some stressful deadlines. I try to get out and stretch often enough, but I m sure I could be doing a better job of that. The other thing is I have cervical ribs and have been warned that sometimes with that, nerve issues can result! Any way to temper this! And what do you think it might be?? Thanks, Aaron

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Its all due to cervical rib and faulty sitting posture like, writing in bed (probably in various uncomfortable positions.

Best way is to sit on chair and table for writing and do morning and evening walk.

Do cervical and back muscle strengthening exercises daily as uploaded on you tube.

Apply hot packs forr30 mins in morning and evening over cervical and back region.

Take aceclofenac+thiocolchicoside three times a day, pregabalin, methylcobalamine at night by prescription of your local doctor.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
