Lawrence Gold Somatics   Hello, Carl,

Surgery is not a sound approach to that kind of pain.

If it's your rhomboid muscle, that can easily be addressed with a somatic exercise found in The Cat Stretch Exercises | http://somatics.com/page7-cat_audio.htm.

To understand the condition, please see the following article:

Since you have had car accidents, an additional article pertains:
