oddly enough
I used many a back brace in the past before and after my 2 discectomies however I was working still and even working out pretty regularly.
Now since starting pain meds I've not used a back brace. Odd huh? Oh well not working either since starting pain meds so that probably helped out too.
I think as mentioned it's whatever works for you. You might even want to have several different types of back braces such as the kind you get at Home Depot that was pretty darn good back about 12 years ago. Couldn't say what they're like now. Nice black color tho.
I've had a few that fit discretely under my clothing while working and then the more obvious heavy duty type that fit over clothing and then the type that looks like one can be at the gym w/it ~ blue neopryne (sp?)..
