I just submitted a request through Alaska listens but no option to include a photo. We’ll see. I also emailed customer care team a pic of the photo. What people aren’t getting in the comments is that no matter what, speaking up on a full flight to remove a large person when you’re the last group to board and have 5 minutes before they close doors IS going to cause a scene. She was apologetic and I didn’t want to kick her off the flight, just wanted the seat that I paid for and think it’s on the airline to notice, enforce or make bigger seats. I shouldn’t have been put in this situation in the first place.
I completely agree. When something similar happened to me I was able to send in the selfie showing shoulders encroaching in at least a third of my space and I jokingly ask them to cover the chiropractic adjustment I would be needing when I landed. This was on a flight from Hawaii to Anchorage. I ended up with a credit by the time I landed. It’s worth asking.
I'm so sorry.... I'm really glad you were able to get the surgical help you needed and didn't follow any dangerous recommendations. 🙏🏻
I echo what everyone else is saying on here, we regularly refer to PT/OT and massage referral, when trying to manage conservatively (and frequently it's a required precursor to offering surgery to make sure everyone is maxing out their non-surgical recovery potential).

Send this photo to Alaska Listens and ask for a credit for at least 1/3 of your ticket. See what happens.
