Has Anyone Used A Wrap Type Brace For Lower Back Pain?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Florida USA

Everyday I have lower back pain, partly from OA. I am thinking maybe one of those stretchy wrap brace might help. Does anyone use one? I know if I put my hand at my lower back it feels better with some support. Thanks

Reclast Side Effects?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Roanoke, VA

I had chills that were unreal, some vomiting, felt very weak like I would easily black out, fatigue overall I was MISERABLE and scared for 24 hours. I felt somewhat disoriented. I am really hesitant to try again. Others?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Boston, MA
