Hi
You get your x ray cervical spine get done.
I think you might be having 7crrvical rib which is extra rib or it may be thoracic outlet syndrome.
If you gave diagnosed for extra rib then you need to do specific exercise for it for whole life as that rib might be compressing your nerve root supplying your arm.
If you have thoracic outlet syndrome then you have to consult orthopaedic as well as vascular surgeon for proper plan out of treatement.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
