Doctor Developed Arthritis Gloves w/Doctor Handbook - Cotton Compression Gloves for Arthritis for Women & Men - Open-Finger Rheumatoid Arthritis Gloves for Pain Relief (Pink, S)

I am wearing my gloves as I write! The arthritis in my hands is compounded by psoriasis. Consequently, certain materials can make things worse for me. However, I am pleased to say that the gloves are comfortable to wear, do not aggravate my skin and, more specifically, help with the pain. The availability of follow up support via email, is a massive bonus in my opinion, suggesting that the Company cares about the needs of its customers. The little booklet which is included helped me to feel more positive as I now have a better understanding of the condition. With this in mind, the excercises are straight forward and have given me the opportunity to take proactive steps to address the problem. The Company are not offering a miracle cure but basically the best strategies to try and alleviate the symptoms. I should add that delivery was prompt and the items were well packaged.

I ordered 2 pairs at the same time, so I don't know which size I am writing on.I bought a medium for my mother-in-love, and extra small for me.Mum was delighted with hers. She has had surgery for carple tunnel on both wrist/hands. She does a lot of craft things, and as the gloves at fingerless, she can work with the gloves on, easing aches and pains of aging.As I said before, I ordered myself an extra small. My hands are size six. I already had some small ones, but they were slightly too big, but they still kept my hands warm, and I could sleep in them and wake up with painless hands from fibromyalgia. However, as soon as I put the XS gloves on, I understood the compression and other qualities, they fitted perfectly and I am sad when I wash them because I have to go back to wearing the larger size, small. Fortunately, they don't take too long to dry if you machine wash them. Hand washing obviously takes longer.I would recommend the gloves to anyone who has any pain in their hands and wrists.I have a sister (by another mother) who lives in the States. She saw me wearing them and asked why I was wearing gloves in the house. So, I explained. Then she wanted pairs for four people including herself, so I went on Amazon.com, found them and sent her the link. She is going to order some but things are crazy at the moment for her, so I don't know if she has ordered them yet.I will be ordering another set of XS. Very few people stock this size.

I have large hands with long slim fingers. The gloves fit well, allowing room on the palm, inside the glove for a heat pad if necessary. I am pleased with the quality of the product for a reasonable price.

On a lightning deal at just under £12, these gloves are far from cheap. The "compression" makes no difference to my arthritis - but I do find that the gloves help a bit by keeping my hands slightly warmer round the house in this very cold weather, or under outdoor gloves. They also save me from knitted gloves (wool or acrylic) aggravating my eczema. The fingers are a nice length for me. They do not cover the third joint of any but my little finger; I prefer this as it allows me to play musical instruments / perform household chores more easily. However, the gloves do cover the wrist reasonably well.From an arthritis point of view, the "compression" does not really work for me - but as the cold makes my arthritis worse, the additional warmth and skin protection are beneficial. I don't regret buying thewe gloves, but wouldn't bother buying any more; I'll look for cheaper "ordinary" (non compression) cotton gloves.The pink colour is less intrusive than black or grey ones - but it gets grubby very quickly when doing every day tasks, or when falling off a bicycle ...

I have multiple issues with my hand joints, arthritis being one. I also have a lot of craft hobbies that involve a lot of use of my hands, as well as my day job in an office using a PC. I found these gloves really made a difference, reducing swelling, improving circulation, and lessening the painful aches I had. The book was very helpful; I didn't realise I could use support gloves while I slept (I had bought other makes in the past), and wearing them at night has really helped me get a good night's sleep, as I no longer wake up half way through the night with numb hands! Also like the colour; my previous gloves (by another brand) only came in dark grey, and were very obvious; would be better if the were more of a neutral beige colour, but can live with the light pink!Size wise, my hands measured 3.5" across, which was at the tail end of the medium, and start of the large. I went for the medium, and they are a perfect fit. When wearing for the first time they may seem a little tight to put on, but they will ease a bit with use, and of course they are supposed to offer compression in order to help your hands. I do find the fingers quite long on them, especially for the thumbs and little fingers, but they aren't so long that they get in the way.All in all, I am very happy with my purchase, and how much they have helped to reduce my pain. Anything that helps me carry on doing the hobbies I love is worth it!

The groves look very nice and are comfortable, I'm hoping the will keep my finger straight, I'm so pleased with them I just bought another pair!!!

Nothing to dislike if you select the correct size. One week after my wrist fusion taking place I had a lot of swelling in my fingers and hand. I bought this glove and it arrived the next day for £14.50 which is a very good price for this quality glove, anything similar will be £30 at least.It’s not easy to get on if you have bought the correct size, use a non scented cream like Nivea and plaster your hand, lightly massaging the fluid down from your fingers. Then slowly work the glove on, it will seem a little tight, but it needs to be a close fit to apply gentle pressure. Then if you keep the limb above your heart for the most part it will drain off the fluid fairly quickly. After 10 days I am making a full fist an able to get my thumb to all fingers, don’t hesitate, buy this product, get the size correct and wear it as much as you can. Thank you to Dr Arthritis, this has really helped. Regards Phil Perkins
