    The spinal bones all work together. After injury when some can't move right, other bones get looser or tighter, along with the muscles connected to those bones. The mid back pain that comes around to the front of the chest is probably due to some of your ribs being "stuck" and not moving correctly.

    I suggest finding a good doctor of chiropractic and having him or her adjust your spine, pelvis and neck. Of course, they should not adjust the area of the neck that had the surgery. Ask many friends and relatives who they go to in your area, then visit the doc and see if it feels right to be treated.

    I am a DC and have had many people with ribs stuck have pain like you do in your chest.
