I have a hard like ball or bone right above my right collarbone that is very irritating. I have noticed this alot more within the past few years. I saw that alot of people had wrote similar things above and I am feeling better that it looks as if more people than just me are experiencing this. I just went to a chiropractor today and he took an xray of this and said this was because of a cervical rib. Does anybody know anything about this or heard of this. They now want me coming in 2-3 times a week to crack my neck and stuff and I have never been to chiropractors before. I am so scared if anybody has any suggestions please share. Thank you. Question

Do you feel pain when elevating your arm above your shoulder, like when trying to comb your hair?

I had my chiropractor do this to me and there is nothing to be scared of, because my doctor was very gentle with me. And yes there is always pain when I use me arms and hands.take care and get much rest.
