Do you supplement your diet and/or do exercises to help your lower back?

The prolite one is very good

Just watch Tramadol as it is a banned FEI drug and am pretty sure BD follow FEI rulings.
If in doubt this is useful http://prohibitedsubstancesdatabase.feicleansport.org/

That means banned for horses not banned for humans though surely? Why would the FEI care if I'm on antidepressants?

once you declare the drug and it is signed off by a doc you should be fine....re back supports....the Back on Track one is amazing!!! I would go with that!

Prolite for sure and also Pilates can help to strengthen the muscles in your back and support it better.....hope you find something that helps!

I can sympathise, I have a herniated disc and associated sciatica right down my whole leg to my toes, ongoing 7 months now. Sitting is torturous, riding is painful to sit with my pelvis tucked up, every movement I make hurts. As a Personal Trainer, and my chiropractor agreed, just watch that you don't start to rely upon a back brace - often when you wear one your muscles cease to perform the function of supporting the spine properly and they actually become weaker not stronger. I personally found that I would push my abs out against the brace, rather than pulling them in so it didn't help much. I sleep in it now as its a magnetic one from boots, don't know if its helping at all but its nice and warm!

So having said all that, the one I bought is a magnetic one, from Boots, with hot and cold pack inserts as well, which I do use when my back is imflammed.
