Great product for my dislocated lumbar discs!  Works better than the two prescribed braces I've had!
I'm 45, and I've had a issues with my back since I was 19.  I slouch often due to the pain in my lumbar spine from dislocated discs and because of the counterweight from my size DD chest.  I'm on pain management, so I've been prescribed a couple of types of braces.  Once, I was prescribed a clavicle brace, which was awkwardly uncomfortable.  It was 100% unbeneficial and did not work at all.  Not to mention, the design was not very intuitive, and I could not even put it on by myself.  A few years later, I was prescribed a $1500 back brace, which also did not work.  I could put it on myself and it was more comfortable than the clavicle brace, but no matter where I positioned it or how tight I made it, it provided absolutely no support.  The other day, I began reading a lot of Amazon reviews, looking for some sort of back brace to help my posture which would help elevate some of the pain in my back.  I'm on enough pain pills and pain patches to kill a horse, yet I still have pain.  Instead of increasing my doses, I was hoping there was something else I could try - a last ditch effort before asking my doctor to increase my pain meds.  This back brace is great!  It is not as constricting or as uncomfortable as the two prescribed braces I've owned.  It holds my posture upright and is easy to put on and easy to adjust.  The material is soft and smooth, which helps tremendously with the comfort.  I am so thankful for this back brace!  It does hurt a little bit (more like 'sore' than 'hurt', I suppose) around the front of the underarm area (the area where the brace goes underneath your arm), but it helps if you wear a shirt with sleeves underneath the brace.  With any device that is pulling on your body, it is going to 'dig' into your skin a little and cause soreness, so I'm not surprised by the 'digging' sensation.  It's not enough to bother me or to make me want to return it, especially with a shirt on underneath the brace.  A shirt makes the soreness almost nonexistent.  In the end, the brace definitely does its job, and it does it well - a lot better than the expensive, prescription braces I've owned.  Overall, I am very satisfied and very pleased with this brace.  If something were to happen to it, like if I left it on vacation or something, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat!
