Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I am having more pain in my mid back due to degenerative disk disease. Anyone know about a possible brace I could use for this? It's just at the level of the bottoms of my shoulder blades. FOr helping with depression, 's right. Do something fabulous for someone else. Or howl at the moon, that always cheers me up.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 My doctor prescribed me to wear a corset type back brace. It goes from the bottom of my breasts to my low back and it has 2 steel bars that run up the back of it. I didn't find it to be too helpful for my low back because it constantly slips up and then it isn't supporting my low back anymore, but i could see something like that helping for mid-back pain. I'm not sure what its called. something like a 2 steel brace. Not sure. You might have to do some research. hope i could help a little. > I am having more pain in my mid back due to degenerative disk disease. Anyone know about a possible brace I could use for this?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I had the same kind of problem with the corset with and without steel braces. besides riding up every time I moved. It helped my back only when I was laying down, but squeezed my hips tight and made my hips and sacrum hurt. I think those things are made for people who have NO CURVES! Getting a custom-made one wasn't covered by my insurance unless I ended up in traction, and the doctor specifically orders it. I bet a traction belt would have worked for me in the first year of my back pain issues. >xstrangerx wrote: >I didn't find it to be too helpful for my low back because it constantly slips up and then it isn't supporting my low back anymore, but i could see something like that helping for mid-back pain.
