Hello, Davo! How are you?

I wore one for several years when I was younger for scoliosis. However, mine was so severe that it didn't help me, at all. It was just an experimental thing to see if it would work for more severe forms of it.

Have you been told to wear one?

I found it to be rather uncomfortable and it limited movement quite a bit.

Since prescribed by my Ortho surgeon and paid for by Workers' Comp, I am sometimes wearing the Boston Overlap Brace in hopes to find out if my L4,5 spinal disc fusion actually fused. Surgery was June 2013. It's uncomfortable and restrictive and if my low back pain decreases or goes away, the fusion didn't take. I'm also taking opiod pain killers and have not decreased their use.

Yes, it's a horrid thing to wear, but needed in some cases, I guess.

Have you had any improvement?
