I FOUND THE McDavid Shoulder Support through Amazon after a brief search in my local area failed to produce the desired item. My dcotor diagnosed my shoulder injury as an "abused muscle strain" and recommended a month of limited use, minimal elevation and no lifting, twisting or stretching. The McDavid brace is a snug and comfortable reminder of my limitations. It is durable and well constructed. The only thing I would like to see improved is a wider chest strap with a larger velco zone. 5 stars

I purchased this shoulder support after I strained my shoulder playing sports. I was hoping it would help limit my shoulder movement and allow my shoulder to heal. However, because the support is so bulky, it would not allow my arm to hang flush to my body. This actually caused my shoulder to ache continuously, which was extremely uncomfortable and defeated the purpose of wearing the support.

Pros:
-Inexpensive compared to other options
-Easy to put on (with someone's help)
-Provides good support vs. taping or wrapping
-Immobilizing strap attachment provides additional support

Cons:
-Bulky and bunches up under your arm
-Holds your arm in unnatural hanging position
-Pretty much impossible to put on by yourself
-Very difficult to adjust without assistance if you have to wear for long periods
-Makes you hot and sweaty if worn for long periods 3 stars

I have no idea how this product really is. It arrived from the company one size too big, packaged with the smaller printed size.

The return was not difficult and the refund was swift. 2 stars

This is good product for protection. But it doues ride up on the neck and irritate the scin. We put some tape on it and that helped. 4 stars

I injured my shoulder in high school playing football, and now that i play rugby in college, this product really helps keep my shoulder where it belongs. its bulky, but i like it! i also like the strap pretty tight around my chest, which constricts breathing a bit, but rather safe than sorry. 5 stars
