support belts   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1728 of 4278 |
Does anyone use a support belt? I am a fitness instructor and am trying to find
a support belt that will work for me. It has to be somewhat small in width. I
am 5' and weight about 100 pounds normally.
Also, has anyone ever started itching after their surgery? I am itching
everywhere and it
seems to be getting worse. There are also little bumps. Could it be
withdrawal from all the meds I was on? It has been 4 weeks since my surgery.
