Most nights and days but not by choice...

My back brace, recliner, and massage chair all keep me off the drugs... But that's me.

The most effective back brace I have seen is just a the old wide leather weight belt with the big or multi buckle in front.

First you gotta find one (very hard). Then you soak the leather belt in a tub of hot water for 24 hours. Then you put it on tight and wear it around the house standing up and walking. After a few hours gently take it off without bending it and set it out in the sun to dry. After its dry oil it up and finish braking it in...

It will last you for years.

Also... I've never been able to effectively ride with any of my braces on.
