MacBook Pro screen has dark shadow from top to bottom

My Macbook Pro screen has a dark shadow extending from top to bottom about 1/8 the total width of the screen. The grey area seemzs to vibrate too. It doesn't show up in a screen shot, but I took a photo with my phone and it does show(see attached). Is this fixable?
