Very happy with the pain relief!

Over the years I have severed the cartilage between my three right ribs several times. Wounds in the US Army. You do it once, it's likely to happen again. I recently did it again because of the flu and a bad cough. I've tried Ace bandages and a velcro weight lifting belt. Neither did me any good. The weight lifting belt actually made the pain worse. After having this brace fitted, I felt as pain free as possible given the circumstances. An injury that lasted 9 months for the first time in the past. Two ribs also broke at first, took up to four months to recover, now almost pain free after two months of using this brace. I can't leave it on all the time and neither should you. Two hours with an hour break is my recommendation for cartilage separation. In the past I had health insurance to go to the doctor and get medication that cost hundreds of dollars. This time I just wanted to try a product that wouldn't cost taxpayers hundreds of dollars and cost me a 90 mile trip to Virginia. As a plus, the Velcro held on to it. This tongue is a bit frayed, but it doesn't affect its gripping ability and the integrity of the product at all. I would definitely order it again next time I deal with it. However, now that I don't use it much, I bet it will still be there if it happens again.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Slightly torn
