Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 I've had four month experience with a hard brace, more like a turtle shell. However, mine was worn for post-op for L5/S1 fusion. If you have more info on what type of brace you have, I can relate my experience to you. I don't want to tell you a bunch of things that don't relate to your situation. I do wish you best of luck with your back. Jim <flysacessna@...> wrote: HELLO ALL.... IM NEW BUT WAS WONDERING IF ANY OF YOU HAVE HAD EXPERIENCES WITH BRACING?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Thanks everyone for the info on the back brace. I appreciate the help. You guys were wondering what kind it was that i got so you can maybe give me some more information. It's called from the best of my knowledge, a soft LSO. It's made from two shells of plastic which are held together by velcro. And covered in a soft material. It's very restrictive as it goes from my hips to just below shoulders in the back. The worst thing about it is finding clothes that fit over it. I don't like wearing it on the outside of the clothes because to be honest Im a little self conscious about it. It seems to make my back feel much better which is good. But was wondering what kind of experience you guys had with it or if there is anyone else out there who is trying bracing as a treatment option. Thanks a million.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Elaney got her back brace today! It is for scoliosis. It looks so uncomfortable! I really hope it does not cause her to much discomfort. It is only at night and then she can be active and move alot during the day. I think that will be best for her considering her JRA. I know I already asked you all about this before but if anyone else has gone thru this w/ someone w/ JRA I would love to hear from you. The last time I asked was during my sister's coma and I may have accidently deleted them. (Oops! I think I may have endured some brain damage from my sister's coma!!!) As for my sis she is doing great!--- & Elaney(12 poly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 flexible lumbar back braces work good for me. Another idea is get a customized corset. Custom Corsettes of California have nice mail order ones that don't make you look like R2D2 from star wars or like you're wearing a costume to go as a hard boiled egg. > > Hi, > > I have SMA III and my scoliosis is pretty advanced.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi, I was looking online and I saw some braces but I am not sure what is better, maybe you can check them and see. 1. This one I heard is doing injuries after a while of wearing : http://www.pushstore.com/502_240101/Push_Med_Back_Brace.html 2. This one I am thinking may not be so bad, but I didn't find any review about it. http://www.supportsusa.com/bort/back/vario_back_support.htm 3. And I also found this site where are lots of braces, so I looked more at : http://www.braceshop.com/ProductCart/pc/Mueller-Back-Brace- 20p1391.htm and http://www.braceshop.com/ProductCart/pc/Mc- Universal-Back-Support-20p140.htm I also looked at your links, I dont't think wearing a corset is giving me too much mobility. I need something lighter to be able to remove it alone but also to keep my spine straighter. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 The problem I've always had with back braces and corsets and such, is that I breathe predominately with my abdomen. I'm afraid if I had something tight around my stomach I'd have a lot of trouble breathing. Does anyone else have this problem? Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Brett's back brace always had a stomach cut-out so he could still breathe with his belly while providing support. I will see if I can find an old picture, he hasn't worn one in a few years.
