I have two compound fractures in my spine and this is the best thing I've had oh my God it's awesome. I go for walks at the park and I wore it for the first time this last week and I'm telling you my back has never felt better after a walk usually, I'm in pain after a mile and a half, and this thing was amazing and if you can adjust it to fit and it's comfortable, it doesn't others have rubbed like the front of my shoulder. You know where the arm is and this one does not I mean it's just really great cause you can just yell custom fit with those Velcro straps and the Velcro super heavy duty just so you know. It's awesome.
