BraceAbility LSO Back Brace for Herniated, Degenerative & Bulging Disc Pain Relief, Sciatica, Spine Stenosis | Medical Lumbar Support Device for Post Surgery & Fractures with Hot/Cold Therapy (XL)

This brace is great. Very comfortable, and I can put it in and take it off by myself. I broke my back a month ago and was in a very uncomfortable brace for full immobilization. This is an excellent second step brace to prevent bending of the spine and encourage continued healing.

I’m waiting to have my surgery scheduled for 5 degenerative disc , 3 buldging disc and one herniated disc And the s1 posterior tear. I can’t hardly stand up straight from the pain and my legs going numb. I’ve started wearing this brace although I still have the numbness in legs and arms I can stand straight with this brace. It’s actually helping with the pain in my back and the heat pack it comes with feels so good while wearing the brace. It’s made very well, not nothing like a traditional back brace. I never could get them to stay in place and never benefit from them. I would highly recommend this brace if you’re having back issues.

I've had chronic back pain for over eight years now - at least 2-3 times a year, I wind up bedridden for a week with a slipped disc in my lower back. In that time I've tried many different braces, but I'm very glad I stumbled on this one recently. PROS- Both the padding and the support pieces in this brace are excellent, it's far more comfortable than the cheaper braces. Where this one truly shines, however, is the molded support frame that contours the lower back. It's breathable, extremely adjustable, comfortable as a pillow, and supports all the right spots. I've loved it any time I'm feeling sore. It also includes an ice pack inside a pouch in the brace so you can help reduce inflammation. CONS- This is a good deal more expensive than something you could pick up quick at CVS, but you pay for what you get. The biggest issue I've noticed with it is that it tends to ride up if you're sitting back against a hard surface. I wear my braces preventatively most often, and if I'm trying to do a lot of work, or I'm riding my lawn mower, I do have to tug it back down a couple inches every now and then. OVERALL- I'm very pleased with this brace, and I'm hopeful that it helps keep me pain free a little more often than I've been. It is extremely comfortable, supportive, and adjustable.

I tried other back braces and honestly this one is truly the best. It is a bit expensive but worth every penny. It helps keep your back straight without restricting you to death. I love the ice / heat pack. It works perfectly. I also love the handles that help to put on and adjust the brace. Some people mentioned it being hard to put on solo. I found it easy looking in a mirror. Some also mentioned it being heavy. I say no such thing unless maybe a little when you have the ice/heat pack on but your not going to be running a marathon anyway. This back brace is fantastic. It has made my back feel so much better. It has helped me to be more mobile when I otherwise would not.

Don’t hesitate, great back support and eases pain.
