Thank you for your replies and guidance. It is very much appreciated.

The mass does not show in MRI but has grown from large pea size to bigger tham dime size in recent years. Only people to actually feel it and acknoweldge it is there are my spouse and a PT trained at Upledger Institute who I waited 4 months to get into who then moved 3 months into treatment to California with her husband's job transfer closing a 17 year PT practice - may stinkiy luck. Loads of massage therapists and PTs from the "best" schools just feel the surface and say they don't feel anything becuz they don't get how very deep this injury is and don't have the skill to work their way through the spinal erectors an inch thick or more to the mass. I believe it to be scar tissue as a space occupying lesion would have shown in MRI - I think. Again, thank you very much. Hugs back to you all.
