Dr did not rx PT for post op/ pain relief??

Make a journal of symptoms, treatments and pain levels so if you go to a new dr nothing will be missed.

Since whiplash was mentioned I will suggest you explore our Thoracic outlet syndrome forum (TOS) TOS can appear many years after a whiplash event as well as many other causes.
Look for info on trigger points and muscle spasms.

Our spinal forum might be of help sorting the pain causes also.
