Default Back Brace Helpful?

I was wondering how many people have tried a back brace?
I have a degenerated L5 that is really starting to flare up again.
An older lady I work with has a similiar condition and her doctor has
her wear a back brace all the time. My doctor has never mentioned this
to me. I'm wondering if I should order one or not.
Anyone find that it helps or doesn't help?
I have such inflammation and pain that I'm worried it will make it feel worse.

I found this brace that is supposed to be good for the L5 area:

It's $97 which I'm willing to pay if it will help.

Anyone tried this or have any info about it?
