Postmaster1992;

So glad you got some relief with a support garment. I would encourage everyone to try some sort of support gear. It has really helped me do more things.

I was walking for awhile for 20 mins at a time and my upper back would ache sooooooo bad. I thought about bad posture and how I am always looking down....(I tend to watch my feet) so I bought a shoulder brace. WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT! Our muscles and ligaments ache, so taking ANY undue strain off of them is key. Not everything will help, but its sure worth a try.

Since the cold tightens my muscles, I am now considering a vest that heats by battery power for up to 5 hours. As soon as I get cold, my neck and upper back go right into spasm and don't stop. I'm hoping this will let me get out in the winter here in Michigan with less discomfort.
