I had a very severe injury to my lower back L4 &5 in July 2010. I experience considerable pain even with pain medication. I am a female of 67 years old. I purchased the Copper Fit Back brace. I do understand frustration of a number of purchases because it took over two months to receive my order. I have an area just to right side of spine that breaks out in Shingles every once in awhile. I had not had a breakout (rash) for almost two years. I started wearing the brace and found wearing problems so stopped wearing after two days. Within a couple of days, I started breaking out in the shingles rash in same area which had been underneath the brace.
I cannot prove there is a correlation, so as much as I am not looking forward to this, I am going to try brace again now that shingles rash has healed up. I wondered if any others had side effects similar to this. You cannot believe how much I hope this actually does work, but am cautious for right now.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
