similar problem with my neck brace
not to mention that it would cause pressure on my arteries in my throat and give my headaches. i would have to loosen it sometimes. even now after a year frpm surgery i need to wear off on for an hour or so to give me some stress relief. but i caution anyone on wearing to long. you need to build your muscles back up. you may become dependant on it over time...talk to your docotr about trying to ween yourself off it an hour each day.
