AVESTON Back Support Lower Back Brace for Back Pain Relief: Thin Breathable Rigid 6 ribs Adjustable Lumbar Support Belt for Men/Women Keeps Spine Straight and Safe – Belly size 38-45" Large

Yes, I played golf, I was a scratch golfer when I had to stop, but I did have this brace before when I played, and it helped me play for 5-6 years longer, results may vary. Honestly though, I did, and I would wear it a few hours after playing to do yard work and stuff, and it would remind me when I was trying to do something stupid. I know, right, a man trying to do something his doctor told him not to play anymore, then would throw his golf club at him after getting beaten by 4 strokes, and down $50 dollars to the patient he thought would be easy money.When I bought this one, I didn't even notice it was the same one, but I'm happy it is. I wore it doing things I shouldn't have been doing, nothing crazy, just throwing 50lb. sacks of concrete off the back of the truck, little things right, and it did remind me about my posture, very important, and not to twist when throwing, but to turn then throw, just like OSHA would tell you on a jobsite, or in training,(I taught basic safety classes for OSHA certifications). Everything was great, no more pain than normal, everyday stuff.Then the next day came. Yeah, the next day came, I put the brace on, and I didn't feel too good about it. Turns out my right hip is out of it's socket, and after lots of money and laying in a tube, I got to find out that I'm old, relatively, that I have arthritis, and I'm either getting a surgeon, (read as overpriced doctor), to scrape out a bunch of calcium that has built up in the ball joint, (yes), or I could get a new hip joint by another surgeon, see above, (no).The biggest thing to take away from this is that without this back brace, I would have kept doing stupid, but manly, stuff until I couldn't walk anymore, and then found out my real problem, and would not have had a choice in the matter. This brace not only helps you do the little things, if you're smart, but it may also let you know if you have, potentially, a bigger problem than just back issues. It's a great brace, at a great price, and it really does help people with slight to moderate back problems, and, probably most importantly, it helps you remember the basics of lifting a load, the correct way, or you can mess your back up faster the way.Buy it, it works, and I'm not one of those people who get a free one to tell you how nice it looks, smells, looks like it would work (really?), that the boxing was very nice, that it didn't get crushed in shipping, (I'll never understand that, why a box with something you can't really crush, is such a big issue if it does, or is there some underground "nice box" web site where you can sell your really "nice box", and how do I get to it.)Please note, I am not a doctor, nor have I played one on TV, cable, straight to cable, movies released overseas, or movies released in the greatest nation in the world, The United States of America, in an actual, honest to God, movie theater. Thank you and good night.

OMG! I LOVE THIS LUMBAR SUPPORT BELT/BRACE! My Order arrived today and every since I opened it and put it on, I haven't taken it off! ♥ I feel a whole lot better walking around with it on and cooking dinner with it on, and doing laundry with it on! I'm now sitting in my bed with it on and it doesn't hurt, nor is it too small. It is very comfortable for me and my knees still hurt, but not as bad with this back belt/brace on. / I may have been using the wrong size in the past with other Lumbar support belts/braces, but this one, I ordered it in a large so it can actually wrap around my low back and waist without the struggles of pulling it together to fit comfortably and support me. I am truly impressed with this Lumbar Support Back Belt/Brace! XOXO! The support bars? also feel nice and I don't feel any pressure / poking while walking around or sitting down. WOW! WHAT A GENUINE BLESSING FOR ME THIS IIIISSSSS! I Love My Purchase; and I'm Very Happy With It! Having the right size makes a huge difference also to me. This Is Very Well Made / Constructed Too! I Love It! ♥ GOD Bless Y'all. ♥ ♥ XO

Back surgery helped with recover

Item is as described and my husband is pleased. We should have ordered next larger size because my husband's measurement was about one inch less than higher range of the size he ordered and even tho he can use the belt, the next size larger may have been better for him. Our mistake, not the belt size. This was a good choice for the price. The only problem was the delivery was made to our neighbor's house. I knew the photo was not our porch but quickly recognized my neighbor's house and we walked over and got it. Tried to notify Amazon but their reporting method basically kept me going around in circles so i gave up. Not a big deal.

I have tried a few, this fits me the best and seems to be the least in the way. It really does help me maintain posture and keeps me from hurting my back. Dont know if it is because it keeps me more aware of what i am doing or if it is changing structures but it works for me and i can wear it all day when i need to. Wish it were hsa approved.

I lived the life of a logger and farmer for the past 37 years, It was a wonderful way to live. As my back ached do to the work I learned to rely on a back support I bought at Sears. I would wear it to keep my back from hurting while I worked.As I got older and could no longer live this way I sold the farm and moved to the city. But my back was hopelessly damaged from years of work and heredity. So since my old brace was now weakened from years of use I wanted to buy something new. I bought the AVESTON Back Support Lower Back Brace. It's probably a very good product, but as my back is physically damaged it, alone, may not be enough. Only time will tell. I'll used it, and take steps to follow my doctors recommendations on how to treat my back; exercises, stretching, lots and lots of walking.Right now I need the time to adjust to this new brace. Wearing it too snug is like wearing a tight belt; and I switched to suspenders 20 years ago. I'll just have to "learn" the most comfortable way to wear the brace.

This is a great back support product. My back pain improved after 4 dsys.

Only used it a few times and seems to be helping some. But if I sit in a straight chair my back starts hurting again.
