Pleasantly surprised
I was really kind of hoping to hate this thing. I've had shoulder pain and numbness and tingling in the left arm for 4 months and found out yesterday that I have a herniated disk in my neck.<br /><br />Traction at the chiropractor has helped some, but I wanted to get some relief at home. Until I can get it fixed.<br /><br />Anyway, I really wanted to hate it. It looks dumb and wildly uncomfortable. Plus quite a few reviews said it's too small for a big neck, it's chokey, it didn't help, blah blah blah.<br /><br />Got here about a half hour ago and I actually have it on now. I can feel my entire left arm and my fingers have stopped tingling for a few minutes at a time.<br /><br />Pros: easy to use<br />Easy to assemble<br />Works great<br />Easy to adjust<br />Cons: yes it's a little tight when inflated. I have a 17.5" neck and it's tiiiiiight. But once it's inflated you can adjust the straps to keep yourself from a self sleeper hold<br />Presses your jaw closed when fully inflated so I guess I'll have to get used to it<br /><br />All I know is that right now, at this moment, I'm getting relief from pain and numbness I've had for a third of this year.
