Hi Cakie,
Thanks for your message.
I am sorry to hear about your cold and painful hands. It has been particularly chilly recently.
The Disabled Living Foundation would be a good place to start for gloves. They are a charity which provide impartial advice and can help you find the most suitable ones for the problems you are describing.

They also have a helpline if you have any queries: 0300 999 0004.
You might like to post your message onto the Living With Arthritis forum too - I'm sure other members would be more than happy to share their experiences and solutions with you.

I do hope this helps. If you would like to call us for a chat on our freephone helpline number, 0808 800 4050 Mon-Fri 10am - 4pm we would be more than happy to hear from you.
