heyjoe415, thank you for your kind wishes.
I have an osteophyte complex at the facet joint. Sometimes get pain across the upper shoulder and sometimes low on the arm just on the left, though.
Laminotomy is a great way to go, seldom offered. And really smart to strengthen your core to protect the low back.
Do you have core exercises to recommend,

Hi Gently,

Here is a good reference guide on the core from Mayo:

As always, check with your Dr to make sure there are exercises you should not do. I hope this helps. I just started working on my core a few years ago. I'm 69 now and feel better than I ever have.

All the best! Joe
