FREETOO Back Brace for Lower Back Pain Relief with Pulley System,Lumbar Support Belt for Men & Women with Lumbar Pad, Ergonomic Design and Soft Breathable 3D Knit Material,for Herniated Disc,Sciatica

I love this item it did actual STOP a throbbing back (I hv degeneration disc disease, sciatica & 3 herniated disc. To top it off I just found out I hv OSTEOPOROSIS "the chefs kiss" that is the hallmark of R.A which I unfortunately had before finding this new diagnosis through bone scan a week ago....🙄"Anyhow my back & hip pain had been getting worse I had a back brace from some years ago by a crappy company just dying to tale advantage of my good medical benefits. I'm retired disabled early from the govt.The brace I had yrs ago was over-priced (280!!?) & useless didn't fit either. Damn Medicare paying for crap!! So anyway I have to take "every" precaution now because I've had a few breaks I wanted a good support 4 my back.I researched almost a month online b4 I decided to try this one the reason why goes as follows--metal stabilizers, back triangle support for the curvature in your spine, metal springs in the side good for allowing a slight bend but very sturdy & durable, the heavy duty double elastic bands that pull either side to make it snug around your waist & allow you to maintain a stiff posture.I use this along with a posture corrector (that's another brace) to help keep my shoulders straight & back.I only have 1 issue with this & that is bc I am borderline due to meds that fluctuate my weight on the edge of Size Small. I am slightly over & even though my back pain STOPPED it left me w welts as I tightened it slight bit of my tummy sticking out as I struggled to pull it over completely. I shouldn't of done that 😶 it hurt. I sent a pic per request but not fully showing my belly as I was just arriving home & changing clothes so it doesn't show the under belly hanging out. I adjusted it & tried bit I just needed a size up. I love it though bc it helped my back pain just needed a size up which the c/s graciously assisted me with. The c/s is excellent as the day I recieved it they checked in to see how it was going. I am very impressed & I am going to get on for my other half who also had back issues & a hernia that needs surgery again. Also my closest girlfriend is going 2 get one after I told her my back pain stopped. Usually my back would actually click I would hear it as it would fall & violent pain I mean I could FEEL it move & grind!!With the brace my spine is "stable" & stopped twist & grinding & dropping. This is "MY EXPERIENCE THATS POSITIVE!!" It's NOT a cure all BUT till I have surgery it allows me to drive & function. I even slept with it on. But ""that's me"" this is bc it is hard to get up bc of my discs. I'm NOT saying this is a exception for medical treatment no I'm NOT but it is a great assistant in lieu of it to assist w pain. So it is a ((pain assistant & stabilizer)) that I am using it for my lower back & herniated discs. If I had to YES I would buy this manufacturer again. I would. They are sending a size up so I'll update after I get it.

Very comfortable back brace that feels very supportive.

This does the job. It’s adjustable and firm. I had back surgery and my old brace is not as supportive. Took a chance on this and it works when I go on long walks for the extra support.

good for keeping back vertebrae straight. Easy to wear

This has to be the most comfortable back brace I have tried yet. I will be ordering another one in another month or two so I can wear one and wash the other. I have several others and they all eventually poke you when the stays push up. This one has the stays enclosed so they can't. I didn't think I would use the lumbar pad but I changed my mind when I tried it. I highly recommend this if you have need for this kind of support.
