I do data entry (computer keying) all night with thoracic outlet and the pain is horrendous. Can I wear this under my clothes or is it really bulky?

It has adjustments that are rather effective. If you keep trying to find perfection, you eventually don't feel it. I manage Starbucks stores and when I am on the floor I forget that I have it on.

I have used this on my lower back, and also on my knee, but I am not visioning it around the neck. I would think that it would be too bulky, too large unless you have a huge neck.

Yes. Kinda depends on how tight the shirt is but I used it under my dickies shirts. It did kinda poke out in the front but I wear a safety vest also so It was no biggie. I have a bit of a gut though. Chris O.

It is bulky. You are better off wearing it with loose fitting pants. it can be worn with looser fitting jeans

I wear it around my waist were it would be on my waist band if i had no shirt, some people wear it a bit higher, i do not recommend wearing it where it is only on skin, there always is slight movement while running aka chaffing!

I think this would depend on where on your waist you would wear the belt. I never wear mine above the shirt. It's usually 1/2 over my shorts and 1/2 on my waist. I don't foresee an issue of chaffing if you were doing anything less than 1 hour. If you were running couple of hours wearing it on bare skin, it could potentially bother you. Personal preference.

I have the medium. Seems to work well for me. I have Thorasic outlet syndrome with poor circulation in my right arm due to an accidental gun shot wound. I love to wear these things. Feels great! Oh, my moms name was Ginny!

It's not bulky at all and can be worn under a shirt. My only complaint is it's not very durable.

Don't try it. I wore it most of yesterday. By the time I was getting ready for bed I was irritated by having it on. My skin is a little sensitive and it's pretty uncomfortable laying down with it on, especially if you toss and turn like I do.

I got the short sleeve v-neck and it works well with other clothing. I use I for my shoulder after surgery during physical therapy and it does lessen the pain, I am able to get through my hour sessions with minimum pain. I am thinking about a ankle brace as well.

It can be bulky in areas, but the content is shiftable so that you can flatten it more where you wish to. I slept using mine for my shoulder and neck, and had no problem making it comfy. It has good adjustability in fitting it. However, and it's a big however, I had to return mine for two reasons. One - it does not hold heat well, even when using the maximum microwave time. Two - it has an objectionable odor, present right out of the box but much increased by heating. These two issues keep me from recommending it, even though you asked only about the bulk :). Good luck...

It is so minor that is isn't an issue. There is the menthol smell, but once clothing is on and it has been a few minutes it is not noticeable. Way worth the pain relief, I wear mine to church and there is no problem. I use mine for my thumb joints, upper back and lower back. They have the smaller ones at Costco for a great price.

You could, but probably shouldn't...I've been wearing it almost all day every day first week I bought it. Even at night sometimes. It was quiet interesting experiment to see how different activities affect heart rate (my heart rate drops below 60 when working with computers and steady 65 at night)By the 8th day I've noticed redness on my skin where the rubber contacts were touching and then it started itching. It makes sense: the skins doesn't breath there and strap traps salt from sweat.So now I cut down on wearing it only when I work out.

Can you? Sure I'd imagine but the weight gets pretty heavy on your shoulders after a while. This is perfect for the athletic female as it doesn't smash our breasts and can be adjusted to a small waist. That said, nope not bulky like mens. Would work under a sweatshirt or a baggy t-shirt. I really love it.

I believe that it can be worn under your shirt because i wear it below my blouse and i do not wear jackets. It is not bulky at all. I guess i can get away with wearing it because it can be passed off as a broad bra strap but i would recommend that guys wear an under shirt to mask the strap. I hope this helps

Personally, I would. You could risk some serious chafing without a layer between the belt and your skin. Of course, I see that the comments below say that it is fine, so then perhaps it's worth a try! :) (I think that it depends on how many hours you are running for!)

SORRY. . .I returned mine. . .Unit is too bulky and not something I would want to wear daily. There are better units out there that are condom related and wil provide a more secure and unnoticable fit. . . .
