> 3 dayI do t normally write reviews. I thought no way this works but anything is worth a try. If you get it in the right spot it seriously does HELP. Not cure but help, a lot. Mine is on the left and the spot is just to thw outside of the center of my calf muscle. The L & R is almost right down the middle of my shin. Buy this.

Greater than one weekI’ve had prior back surgery that was considered failed back surgery. Without high doses of lyrica, norco and flexeral I can barely get out of bed. The pain from scar tissue pushing on my sciatica nerve caused me to loose feeling in my leg after only 10 minutes of standing or walking. With Be Active, I no longer loose feeling in my leg. I haven’t tripped or fallen. I can drive long distances, go for walks and and go up stairs easier. It has improved my life by at least 30%. I would say to anyone one the fence, it’s worth a try. But for me, it’s worth a million!

> 3 dayI dont know the science behind acupressure but overall it has helped me. Pros: When I am just walking or sitting, it definitely seems to help eliminate 75-100% of the pain. When I run, I get maybe 50% relief. Not great but it helps me keep going. It is cheap. It isnt more drugs. Cons: I wish it gave better relief when I was running. Overall for the price I would say it is worth it. I am happy with any relief at this point.

> 3 dayI thought it would be a lark, bought it on an off chance it would work l. As many of those ‘as seen on tv’ items, didn’t have too much faith it would but surprisingly it does. Went for a 2 mile run followed by a HIIT workout and the pain was reduced, not totally fine but made the workout much more bearable.

Greater than one weekSeller listed in stock, but took a couple of weeks to get. Maybe in stock in China. Was skeptical about these as I have severe nerve pain in my leg, but it actually works and some days not as good as others, but overall good. I would purchase again gave a 4 star because of slow delivery.

> 3 dayI bought this to give it a try, as when in pain, one will generally try anything to relieve that pain. It did seem to help my sciatic pain. I did however have a few days when I think I just wore it for too long because it started to irritate my calf where the pressure point piece rests (which is the reason I’m not giving this a 5 star review). I used this about a month, but recently had an epidural injection, so am not needing to use this right now. But it’s nice to know that I have something to help when the shot wears off and the pain returns. Bottom line, if you are suffering from sciatic pain, give this a try. Just be careful to give your calf a break from the pressure point once in a while.

> 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.
