Burt davis. Diagnosed with scoliosis and osteoarthritis about 10 years ago. Progressing and now have no ability to stand for more than 15 minutes.My curve is approaching 55 degrees. Severe radicular pain and weakness in my right leg. Preparing for laminotomy on two levels of my lumbar spine this June at Mayo. Hoping for increased mobility not pain relief. I was walking 18 hole golf courses 2 times each week ten years ago. Now on a good day i can walk about 100 yards.

Hi Burt,
I'm not sure if you read the messages from @vickiekay and @gailb just above in the this discussion thread. They have both have scoliosis and have had laminectomies. What questions might you have for them as you prepare for this procedure?
