i bought a posture stability brace at a medical supply store. it wraps around your abdomen and lower back , but has a supported extension covering the whole back and shoulder straps. It can all be closed and adjusted all around the abdomen.

I live in the brace unless I am eating and don't wear it when I sleep or just need a break. It really helps and my husband says I look straightened out.

But the exciting part, is when I first wake up, I take meds and put this brace on immediately and it actually reduces and has even eliminated the 40 min. of dystonia that I have to suffer every morning.

It was more that $80, I wonder if it could be prescribed and paid for by medicare. It's too late for that for me but I'm finding it worth every penny for my entire back and painful shoulders.
