Hi everyone, I thought I would give some feedback on a shoulder support brace from Advanced Brace at 1800 460 0041. I have a BPI to C5 and have lost my deltoid, supra and infraspinatus and teres minor and major. I am fairly thin anyway (180 lbs, 6 ft 2) and the large size brace was really tight on my upper arm, so my wife added 3/4 inch of elastic in the seam. This relieved the tightness. She also took up some of the neoprene in the back to help hold the shoulder back to help with the anterior collapse of the shoulder. This helps my body support the arm when the "muscles" get tired. For about 50 bucks this is some relief. I go to Mayo on 9/20-21 for diagnosis. Can't wait. Everyone take care and I hope you have a tolerable pain day (and night). Mark
