I was having persistent moderate discomfort after chest wall injury (probably not a fracture), especially reclining at night, difficulty getting to sleep . I think NSAIDS would have worked OK, but I can't take them anymore: athletic tape did not help, and I was skeptical this would do much, but needed to try something. Surprisingly, I got a lot of relief using it at night over about a week (think that it worked by stabilizing - ie, “splinting) the chest wall. I'm well aware that you need to use something like this carefully as it can prevent you from full expiration, especially if you have a concurrent respiratory infection, COPD, etc.. - but for limited use this worked very nicely for me.
