I was not screened as a child in England and did not know I had scoli until in my 40's. I had a laminectomy when I was 37 and the surgeon said nothing about having scoli. Perhaps it grew after age 37!! I must have had it as a child because my mother would yell at me to stand straight when she was hemming my clothes. She assumed that one hip was higher than the other because I wasn't standing correctly. I still have scoli because my kyphosis was the main concern when I had my surgery. When I saw my xrays and saw the curve was still there I was very upset. Dr. Rand did not feel that my scoli had anything to do with my pain since I had pronounced kyphosis, stenosis and who knows what else. I mentioned it to him at a follow up and my impression of that conversation was that it would be very problematic to fix. I seem to think that because I have 2 artificial hips it would have thrown them off. I have the unfortunate problem of sometimes not remembering what is said to me. Next time I am taking my mp3 voice recorder with me instead of my husband who remembered even less than I did.
