torn rotator cuff, February 9, 2010
McDavid Universal Shoulder Support
I hurt my right shoulder working out and eventually found out that it was a torn rotator cuff (via a MRI). Since it was going to be awhile before I could see an orthopedist I bought this to hopefully help give me some added support.
It does relieve the pain some.
I was concerned when ordering it that it would not fit, but the Velcro fasteners let you adjust it to fit comfortably. I still haven't seen the orthopedist, but I can honestly say that I'm glad I bought this device.
The only thing I could find at the local Durable Medical Supply store was a sling which was not acceptable to me.
I had a torn supraspinatus tendon. The Orthopedic surgeon decided to try treatment with corticosteroids and the shoulder brace. Two months later I can tell a significant difference for the better, both in range of motion and less pain.
I highly recommend this product to anyone in my same situation.
Gunner February, 2010

4.0 out of 5 stars
Rugby forward, October 18, 2011
This review is from: McDavid Universal Shoulder Support Medium (Health and Beauty)
I play rugby for a women's team and I'm a forward. For those who don't know, the forwards are the hard hitting chicks that deliver just as many beatings as we receive. I had a sublux about 6 months ago and I've been wearing the brace for practice and games. It has saved my shoulder many times without restricting my movement too much. I got used to it really quickly too. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is bc I wish it came in size small. I'm 5'9" and 140 pounds, and although it can be adjusted, the medium is a little big. Overall, this brace is amazing!

It definitely helped, February 13, 2011
Found this to be the first shoulder harness that helped stabilize with reasonable range of motion after rotator cuff surgery.
