Before my surgery I had to wear a back brace whenever I did 'anything'. Since my surgery, I sometimes find sitting for a long time difficult. It's better with a brace. I also sometimes use a lidocaine patch. I love it!

I never used a brace except for immediately after my surgery. I think that this is going to be one of the questions that be, "whatever works for you". You'll not want to wear a brace for daily living... as you mentioned, it can reduce your core strength. If it helps you to ski... I'd go for it.

Gil,
I used one for a short time after surgery to hold everything in place when walking. *(Elastic one around my waist only) Thermoflow Far Infrared Waist Bands & Belts - Fir for Back Pain Relief Todd

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?)..
