If you take out an extra rib in your neck is it dangerous?

It is rare for people to have extra ribs, but when it does happen it is usually in the neck. This condition is known as cervical rib syndrome and while it can cause discomfort, it is not usually considered dangerous. The extra rib can put pressure on the nerves and blood vessels in the neck, which can cause pain, tingling, and numbness in the arm and hand. In some cases, cervical rib syndrome can also lead to muscle weakness and fatigue. Treatment for cervical rib syndrome typically involves physical therapy to improve the posture of the neck and shoulders and medication to reduce pain and inflammation. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the extra rib.
