@eileenvan have you considered getting fit for a custom back brace? I have a corset type brace that doesn't let move in the wrong direction. I wrap the brace around me as tight as I can and then on each side there is a knob, the knobs turn in opposite directions until I feel secure in the brace: the corset effect. I actually feel good in the corset, but my movement is seriously limited. It's spendy and pre-approval was required for me.

@brokenlady62 I wear this stretchy white wrap like thing that makes me feel a bit secure. Other back braces hurt my spine and ribs. Just recently I noticed my ribs don’t hurt as much when someone hugs me. So I’m giving Tymlos the credit. Thanks for your info. Warm wishes, E

What is the name of your brace and is it ok with your doctor/or therapist that you wear the brace? I also do the same because I feel better and can do more--but the pros say I should use my muscles.
