Compression gloves
I am wondering whether to buy a pair of these as I have very painful fingers and wrists when I wake in the morning.
I have been wearing wrist splints and that does help with the wrist pain.
Any advice would be very welcome, thank you.

Hi Wendy52, personally I haven’t worn in bed but I would not be without mine through the day. In the winter I find them to be a good extra layer under my usual gloves. I can have bad days and struggle when office based so these are great using a keyboard/ mouse. On bad days I wear in the evenings and by doing this I think they help me the morning after.

Hi @Wendy52
I think that compression gloves have helped me significantly. I was initially given a pair by the occupational therapist I saw but they were NHS ones that didn't fit too well. I started buying them myself as most commercial ones are sold with a detail on how to measure your hand for the correct fit. They don't last particularly long with me - they wear through at the fingers after about 3 months so I've probably bought 5-6 pairs over the last 18 months. Since last year my hands and feet have become really cold all the time and they help retain the heat in my hands. Over the recent cold spell I wore them overnight as well as my hands stiffen quite badly through the night. They seemed to help that as well.

Another thank you for a response.
I have been looking on Amazon and there are so many to choose from….with copper, without copper, with fingers, without fingers, expensive, not so expensive!
Any advice would be welcome!
Thank you.

I always buy the fingertipless ones, not bothered about copper. It is the elasticity that helps and compresses. They are the grey colour ones but available from lots of places.

I found them useless and went for pretty fingerless gloves with 'hot hands' inside them. Never without my hot hands and get them in bulk off Amazon.
