> 3 dayThe ONLY reason I bought this item as seen on TV is because it is FDA approved as a medical device. Without that confirmation of efficacy, I would not have touched it. In general, this product worked about as well as I expected it to. The pain relief it provides is not magical, but it does provide some relief, enough to allow me to walk and stand more comfortably and to walk greater distances than I currently feel able to without it. I dont wear it most of the time because I figure I need to get used to doing things through the pain as much as possible. I try not to wear this for more than a couple of hours at most. My leg does get sweaty when I wear it. Ive had it for about five days now. The Velcro is secure and allows me to get a secure, snug fit. Overall, Im quite pleased with this knee brace; it does help.

> 3 dayI am at a campground. 5 others have tried this and its awesome. I should get royalties. They have all ordered. My husband has nerve pain, and in a wheelchair, and once we hit the sweet spot, it helps tremendously. As for the others, they had sciatic pain. Everyone has come up to ask the name of this. So I guess they really liked it.

> 3 dayInstructions state otherwise, but I suspect the pressure button on the outside belongs on the inside. No relief at all. Interesting to know how many people, if any, get any pain relief. When I used it, as instructed, I could not stand longer that 90 seconds, nor walk, without severe pain that radiated from the lower back/sacrum, through the hip, down the leg and past the knee. It was worth a try; sorry, but I got no relief.

> 3 dayMy 7r year old dad said that the vibration seemed to be doing the trick. He does not use the product as much as they should which would make a difference in its long term effects but seemed to be working well when in use.

> 3 dayI was skeptical -- but I was also desperate and in agonizing pain. This thing cut the pain off by 85-90%. I can hardly believe the difference it made! Seven hours ago I was I was on the floor (because I couldnt stand or bear weight on my left leg from a pinched sciatic nerve. Ive been in pain for two weeks, cant start PT until June 1 because of an insurance issue. I couldnt bear the thought of another 11 days of this. Ive seen the ads and videos for BeActive, but thought it cant be for real. I was nearly out of my mind with the pain last night and this morning and would have tried anything to get some relief. I placed the order around 11 AM, hoping it could be delivered tomorrow, but at check out there was an option for $3 to have it delivered between 2-6 PM today. I rarely ever do same day delivery, but this was the best 3 bucks ever spent! It arrived around 2:30 PM, had it on my leg, made a few adjustments ... by 3 PM the roaring white hot pain shooting from butt cheek down the back of my leg to my heel was gone! Unbelievable! I could stand -- I could walk -- I could sit down and get up without screaming. I left it on for about 2 hours, then took it off to see what would happen. the pain gradually came back and about 45 minutes later, it was back on my leg ... and the pain is gone again. Its not a cure, I realize Ill still need PT to relieve the compression on the nerve, but it sure relieves the pain until the underlying issue is addressed. Again, its not gone 100%, I can still feel pressure on the nerve, but it feels more like a pulled muscle or a spasm rather than a bolt of lightening shooting down my back and leg. So to be specific ... on the fit and adjustment strap I give it an A+. Very easy to put on and take off. Its lightweight and relatively comfortable on my leg. The only comfort issue Ive encountered so far is that the top edge rubs the inner back of my knee a bit when sitting but I can live with that, so A- on that one. I read other reviewers complain about the disc causing burns or irritation, so I put a 2 x 2 gauze pad between the hard disc and my skin and Ive had no problem in that regard. So overall, it gets an A and 5 stars from me. I think this is the first time Ive ever written a review the same day I received a product. But I was so blown away -- and incredibly thankful!!! -- for how well and quickly this wrap worked. I will post an update in a day or two, just in case any issues come up. But if youre having sciatic nerve pain, dont suffer as long as I did -- GIVE IT A TRY! Im so glad I did. Thank you to the folks at BeActive for the relief, and thank you Amazon for offering same day delivery.

> 3 daySometimes I purchase a product with high hopes that it will work as advertised and then become sorely disappointed. NOT THIS TIME, This item works as advertised and is miraculous!

> 3 dayI bought this for a friend of mine and she said it works as advertised. She’s tried several things to get some relief and nothing had worked before. She’s happy to be pain free.

> 3 dayRelief isn’t instant but give it a few minutes and you will start to get some refief. It does get loose after a while just tighten it up. Make sure you position it correctly
