So after waiting three years, and being tested, poked, and prodded for years by two Neurologists, three Pain Doctor Specialists, three Neurosurgeons, three Primary Care Physicians, a Parkinson’s Neurologist, and a leading Multiple Sclerosis Neurologist, it was a simple Physical Therapy Prosthetic Technician who figured out what kind of back brace (a “TLSO”) that I actually needed to support my back properly to help ease my daily pain!

Teddy’s New Brace!

Amy is her name. She works at Hanger Prosthetics. And as an added bonus, she said that EVERYONE that she “prescribes” this “TLSO” to their Neurologists, or that she “installs” this “TLSO” onto people, generally lose a lot of weight while wearing this brace. She took about 50 measurements of my body, so my brace is actually custom molded to my body now. I also have to wear it so tight that I can hardly breath – that’s the only way to keep my back actually fully supported, all nice and straight, and tightly bound upright.

Nice-n-Tight!

As I’ve gone back and forth with my meetings with Amy, she’s been telling me about this aspect of the “TLSO” and I was always doubtful. I mean, how could wearing a back brace alone make you lose weight? My Neurologist wanted me in a back brace so that I could walk more because I cant walk very far before my back gives out. The first brace he prescribed, a “Jewitt,” didn’t even fit my body type, and they ordered two different types; Man that was a TOTAL waste of time, and it cost Sheri and I over $100 in cab fair with me going back and forth to doctor appointments for a waste-o-time-back-brace-piece-o-shit! Well, I am a Convert Now. I am a True Believer Now! I take two bites of food and drink a sip of whatever I’m drinking to wash it down and I’m full. Actually!, I can hardly swallow the bites of food and I can hardly wash it down!!! And after I’ve eaten a few bites of food, I start breathing heavy like I just ran a mile because my stomach is now full and is fighting for space with my lungs inside the hard plastic clamshell that I’m locked down inside! LOL!!!

I’m so Full!

I CAN’T BREATH!




Does my ass look smaller?
