Thanks. My scoliosis isn't really the issue too much, its the combination. My curvature is like 30, so it isn't even enough to operate on by itself. But due to the degenerative stuff going on, they act like surgery would require several levels of fusion. So I am assuming the next guy will state the same, and not want to do it. (Which I wouldn't really want to try either, based on how the doctors reacted to it. o.o)
