If the current employer has "stifled" my career, not allowing for raises, growth opportunities, etc,
I am a senior manager, Director of Operations, for my organization. They were going out of business when I arrived, and we have experienced 62% growth since my arrival. I have asked repeatedly for a raise, compensation comseurate to my performance, and continue to be turned away.
I have many opportunities in the same field, medical, but cannot go because I'm bound by my non-compete. Please help.

First, have you had a lawyer review the non-compete (NC) yet? That must be done before proper advice can be given on it.
Second, you can't force any employer to give you a raise without a contractual obligation to do so. Do you have one?
Third, if you are being under appreciated and underpaid, why would you want to stay? If you have an updated resumeshowing how you turned the compnay around, you should be a catch for another company!
You can use the NC as an excuse never to leave, but that is not a reasonable understanding of the NC. You are not a slave to this unappreciative and stingy employer. Chances are you are wearing your dissappoinment on your sleeve and the company resents your demands to be properly rewarded. You can let them control your fate or you can take charge of it instead!
