Hello Ms. Jalpa Satasiya

Hand clawing after removing an extra cervical rib may indicate nerve or muscle issues that need evaluation by a specialist.
Treatment options may include nerve decompression surgery, tendon transfer procedures, or physical therapy to improve hand function. Precautions such as taking adequate rest, avoiding strenuous activities and putting pressure on the elbow and hand can prevent its aggravation.

For further assistance, please contact our experts at HexaHealth. We will help you consult with a neurologist or an orthopaedic surgeon experienced in hand surgeries. They can assess your condition thoroughly and suggest appropriate treatment options to improve hand function.

I started seeing a small lump on my forehead since last one year but it is slowly increasing in size and I don't feel any pain in it. When I showed it to the doctor he said that it will remain like this otherwise I should get surgery done.
