Adjustable Shoulder Support Brace, SGODDE Compression Shoulder Support Brace for Injuries, Shoulder Pain, Arthritic Shoulders, Neoprene

My right shoulder suffers severe chronic pain from a torn rotator cuff and osteoarthritis. Although the device is a challenge to put on and adjust myself because of the lack of motion in the shoulder, once I succeeded in getting on it provided the best relief I have had from the pain and I experienced substantially increased painless range of motion in the shoulder. The main benefit comes from the degree of heat the device delivers. It is much greater than that available from heating pads. The massage effect seemed to relieve the osteoarthritis discomfort long after I removed the device. The seller's information that the device emits an odor when heated is correct, but the smell is slight and is similar to that of my rubber scuba diving masks. It is insignificant when comapared to the theraputic benefits of the device. With a bit of ingenuity in adjustment and positioning of my legs, I was able to use the device to deliver equally beneficial heat and massage therapy to my knees with equivalent results to those provided to my shoulder. The remote control is a bit quirky, but after a bit of practice I was able to out think it's deficiencies and get it to work just fine. Because of the high temperatures reached and the complexity of use of the remote control, however, I would not recommend use of the device by cognitively impaired persons or persons having manual dexterity impairment or persons prone to falling asleep during use unless under the direction and close continuous monotoring of an adult caregiver who is present and observant during the use. I am a 76 years old male and other than getting the device on my shoulder the first time and figuring out the rather minuscule remote, I have had no other problems with it so far. If the device fails in the near future, I shall update this review.

This is a great heating pad - very easy to use and it takes the pain away with heat and vibration. Only issue is getting it on and off by yourself but once you adjust it and know what not to do it really works and you can do it alone. Having had 4 shoulder surgeries I know pain when I feel it. This works - it takes it away and calms everything down! I put it all in a shopping bag near my chair and it's ready to go. I was surprised that the vibartor combined with the heat did the trick. The two mode switch is hard to get to but you'll get the hang of it once you put it on and off a few times.

It works well, but it didn’t fit my shoulder, but it lives up to what it is. They just need to make it bigger or make the straps longer.

This was quite a disappointment. 1. First, getting this contraption on was an effort that took many tries. How this is supposed to be comfortable is beyond me. 2. Finally got it almost fitting and then realized that you cannot see the controls, although they are easy to reach with the opposite hand. But, you cannot see which level you have chosen ... have to look in a mirror, I guess. 3. This thing vibrates, but only where the bulky battery is located, not in the back. 4. It does not have the coverage which is shown in the pictures. It does not even cover my shoulder blade. 5. The vibration is very noisy. No way could I lie down and relax with that loud buzzing. 6. The heat does not get very hot. It's being returned. I'll do better with a $10 heating pad. Big disappointment.
