Bracepost Back Brace for Lower Back Pain Relief, 7x Back Support for Women Men, Adjustable Lumbar Support Belt for Herniated Disc, Sciatica, Scoliosis (Size: Large)

My background: I have chronic pain from severe back injuries. I broke 4 bones in my back after getting thrown from a horse I had no business training. “Rodeo breaks.” The bones never healed. So there are bone fragments moving around when I move. Over the past 20 years, my back has worsened to the point that I’m in a wheelchair at times. I have a service dog for mobility, a neuromuscular implant for pain, have had many epidurals, nerve blocks, PT, acupuncture and anything I thought might help. The things I’ve bought are embarrassing. Some are ridiculous, but if you have chronic pain, you’ll try anything.If you identify with any of this, take a look at this brace. It will give you a tool to use to keep an acute stage from coming. You can tell sometimes that your back is especially unstable. Even rolling out of bed can be “that thing” that happens and you are in trouble. If you have something that supports your back until it’s not so unstable, you can avoid some really bad stuff.This brace is the perfect amount of support to let your back settle down. I have a brace that my doc ordered for me. It has a metal insert. Not flexible at all. For acute times, I’m grateful for it. It will keep discs and vertebra from slipping. I have 4 vertebra that have slipped on top of each other.This gentler brace has built in supports on the sides. I’ve never seen crossover Velcro like these. It’s a bit confusing at first. That’s all I’ll say. You’ll figure it out. But you can adjust it to the level of support you need.If you have chronic pain and acute times that are excruciating, you’ll love this brace. Sometimes, I know my back is unstable. This brace will keep an acute stage from happening. The brace my doc ordered can be too harsh. There is a definite place for the brace my doc ordered. But not every single day. When I take the harsher one off, the thing that I’m trying to avoid with my back…happens. One giant spasm as soon as the brace comes off. Then I’m bedridden for several days. Needing help to do anything. It’s a slow process to heal.I feel like this brace has been the tool I’ve been missing.

Pulled my back doing some work and needed something to help support while it healed. Back just wasn't healing after weeks as I kept pulling it while doing daily activities. Bought this to support my back for awhile so it could heal up. After a few weeks of wearing it my back had healed. Keep it handy just for when I pull it again, as I know I will. Wish these were around when I was younger, as many times I could have used it. Now that I am older it doesn't quite heal as fast so the extra support makes all the difference. It is breathable but still warm like an extra shirt. Not sure I would wear it under the cloths but more like over a t-shirt. The warmth can be good for the back but not always for the comfort. The elastic has held up well. Allowing me to set the tension as much or as little as needed. Like the extra wide coverage as this released more tension on the muscles. Found the comfort and support far better than the work weight belts for heavy lifting. Not as thick and stiffening, so offering more relaxing comfort for home with everyday support.

Very comfortable and easy to adjust.

I had an old one that I could never SIT while wearing because it stabbed me in the ribs, etc. This one has great support, but I can also DRIVE, SIT, and BEND while wearing it. I ordered an XL to be certain it would fit and I'd be able to tighten it to my own level of support.

My husband works part-time loading trucks~ A Back-brace is required but not supplied~ I decided on this one because its made of a breathable mesh material which has turned out to be very helpful since he works in very warm conditions~The material stretches nicely; so it’s also comfortable for him to wear while being active for long periods of time.He’s been using it regularly for almost 3 months and it’s still in great condition. now that it’s broken in it’s even more comfortable for him.Most importantly it gives him the much needed support and has helped substantially at keeping his back pain from flaring up.I would definitely buy another one of these if need be~ well worth the money!

Good material easy to used no rash no bump on your side

I like that it is lightweight and there is support but it would be more supportive if the closure were easier. There is nothing to easily catch the 2 ends and bring them together evenly to prevent it from rolling up and to give it more solid stomach support.

Fits well an good support
