Title: I think compression vest is making my ribs hurt
Post by: Copespo on January 14, 2009, 06:43:42 PM

I have a binder compression vest so one side goes over the other and valcro holds it....for some reason I have the worst lower rib pain ever...when I pull the vest or loosen it, the pain is not as severe.... my lower ribs are killing me... anyone have this problem?

Hm, I'm going to contact my surgeon and ask if I can cut off the lower part Velcro which to me seems like it's not there to much. The upper valcro is more important anyways.
