Hi
Has anyone had any experience using arthritis gloves? I have PsA in my right hand which causes me considerable pain when typing. Really impacting on my work. Do the gloves provide support as well as warmth?
TIA

Sorry, I can't help as I don't use them though I did have some proper splints when my hands were really bad. There seem to be a lot advertised and I'd guess they're of variable quality. I'd presume compression gloves are the better ones.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

I use gloves, I think they help. I also use the desk wrist support and a desk mouse wrist support too.
I don't think they provide support, not like the splints.0 -
I use compression gloves and find they really help me (I have rheumatoid arthritis). I also have wrist supports and sometimes use them together.
I think it's an individual thing, so maybe a case of try it and see.0 -
I use gloves and splints of various kinds provided by the occupational therapist, my initial referral came from the rheumy nurse, it may be worth asking for a referral.

I decided to invest in a pair and have found a reduction in my pain since wearing them. I look a bit odd with one glove on but it's worth it!!!0
