A member asked:
What back brace should i be looking into? i have severe lower back pain to the point where its unbelievably painful just to bend over/twist/lie. i have physical therapy starting next month, however i feel like i need something to hold me over until?

The easiest and cheapest way to find some modicum of support is via a Sacro-iliac Belt which can be found online at sites such as Amazon. Chronic use of a back brace is NOT recommended but short-term use is of palliative value. Eventually, learning back exercises will provide the best outcomes.
