Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The chronic rib pain that you are having with the facial numbness could be due to a nerve related symptom. This could be related to a vitamin B 12 deficiency, electrolyte imbalance, muscle spasms or a thyroid hormone imbalance. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
