I am going to use ice again today and then let the packs defrost and try it as heat tomorrow.
For reference to how bad my back is, I keep a heating pad in the bedroom next to my side of the bed, in the living room next to my side of the couch, and one in my office.
There are days where my back is so bad I just want to crawl in a ball and cry. The worst lately has been sleeping. I can't find a comfortable position, so I toss and turn all night long and as I mentioned earlier, I then wake up in so much pain in my lower back and again I just want to cry.
Man that stinks...really hope you get some relief from this. I am not that bad but I have to crack my back first thing in the mornings and then a hot shower to feel loose and after that its still stiff but no where near what you are going through.
First use felt good. It stayed cold for over an hour, but was never too cold that I had to remove it for a while. I wish it would wrap around my back a little more, so far that's the only negative I have found and that's just a personal thing for me.
I wake up every morning with pain so bad in my back I want to cry. Every morning when I wake up I bend forward and my back will crack a million times and the burning finally starts to subside. I am hoping consistent use with this will help alleviate that a little.
Sadly GG - I know all about that. I hope this product works for you - I will be following with great interest!
BTW - have you had a really good chiro work on your back?
GG not sure if it would help you, but if your doctor could give you a 5 day Steroid pack it could break the cycle of pain.
I told you what happened to me and how it was a godsend, I am slowly going back into the pain issues (after 5 months) but not as fast and doing a lot of yoga type stuff to fight it off. Hope the vest helps. I was told to never use heat on a bad back, but I am sitting with a heating pad right now. It just feels good for a few minutes.
I have a pinched sciatic nerve that flares up every so often. Have been battling severe pain for about 1 1/2 months now. Went to chiropractor 2-3 times a week for about 4 weeks. It helped some. I ordered one of the belts last night after reading your post. I have an adjustable bed and started raising the foot part a couple of nights ago. Used to take me 5-10 minutes to get out of bed. This morning it only took 2-3 minutes. Maybe after I get the belt, I can just roll over and get out. Remember, "getting older ain't for sissies"First use felt good. It stayed cold for over an hour, but was never too cold that I had to remove it for a while.

I've been having some tightness issues just below my shoulders and in between my shoulder blades.
Would it work for either of those areas?
The pictures look like its made more for the middle and lower back areas.
Hahaha. Those are different labor pains GG!
Im really intrigued by this and what the company is doing.
I would gladly volunteer to be their research for the neck one they are coming out with. My neck is almost as bad as my back, and sometimes it's even worse. I will wake up some mornings and not be able to turn my head for 2 days. I would be all over something that I could get direct contact to my neck.
