Do you use a back brace for AS support?

Hi everyone 👋

For those living with ankylosing spondylitis, managing stiffness, pain, and posture can be a daily challenge, especially when symptoms flare. Some people explore tools like back braces for added support, but opinions can vary widely on whether they actually help or just get in the way.

🦴 Have you ever used a back brace to manage your AS symptoms?

💬 Did it help with posture or pain relief, or did it feel uncomfortable or limiting?

📌 Are there specific types of braces or supports you've found helpful?
