Has anyone had back pain in the kidney area when using a smart vest?

Posted by lenorj @lenorj, Jul 29 4:58pm

I have been using a repir-Tex vest for several months and have found it very helpful for air way clearance, but in the last week or so I have begun having some pain in my back on either side of my spine in the kidney area. I use the vest on 65% power. Anyone have any experience with this?

I had to quit using my afflo vest because of too much pressure on ribs, etc. Was doing lowest power and time. It never helped much with sputum release anyway. IT'S FOR SALE IF ANYONE INTERESTED
