Carry with a herniated disc
unfy:
Another 9 hr carry day with suspenders and feeling okay for the most part.
I think the suspenders are having a slight negative affect on my posture... but... so far so good.
depserv:
By the grace of God I don't have a back problem, and I hope those who do find a solution. But I wanted to comment on the suspenders. When I carry my subcompact Glock on my belt I have to wear suspenders or my pants don't stay up very well. The extra magazines on the other side make the suspenders even more necessary, but even without them I need the suspenders. My extra large belly might have something to do with that I suppose. Just curious about whether I'm the only one who has that problem.
One suggestion: I use a SmartCarry holster when it's too hot out to wear a jacket or vest. Would that kind of holster help maybe?

With a proper belt and a CrossBreed SuperTuck on one hip and my spare mag in a Leatherman pouch on the other hip - no real issues. No belly to speak of, though.
RLMoeller:
I think some of it depends on how tight you wear a belt. Not only do you need a quality belt, but it needs to be snug.

First time I've this post and had a few thoughts.
Can you wear suspenders under your shirt? That way you can get some suspenders that has some cushioning for the shoulders.
I was sitting next to ya at breakfast, and I was carrying in a fanny pack (Tommy's guns pack). Would prefer to carry at the 4:30 position though.
My mom had Kypoplasty done, worked wonders, don't know if that would work on herniated disc though.
Have arthritis in my back and the back cracker does wonder. Gets rid of the headaches too.
+1 on looking at personal trainer. My BIL is one and has done great things for people.
Some really good thoughts on this thread.
