IMAK Active Arthritis Compression Gloves (Grey, Small)

I have Lupus which affects the joints in my hands, most of the time they are painful, stiff and weak. I also have Raynauds Phenomenom as a part of the Lupus, my hands get painfully cold even in the summer if I don't have my heating on at home which can be costly. A dear friend I met through a support group recommended these gloves to me after she bought a pair for herself and found them helpful.They came in great condition, though when I first put on the right glove a tiny part of the seam at the side of the hand palm area split, I don't entirely blame the manufacturer for this though, my hands were stiff when putting it on and i was using my left hand to pull the glove on which made it tricky to do, the gloves are quite tight (as they have to be for them to be effective), so the tightness coupled with my bad hand meant they weren't put on very gently. I later stitched the seam myself which was no trouble after wearing the gloves a while (the tiny split didn't affect the overall effectiveness of the product).The gloves are of great quality, the material is thick enough to do the job without being so thick that they alter daily activities, there are tiny rubber grips along the palm and underside of the fingers which are on very securely and are very useful. The material is soft and comfortable enough to wear all day. The fit is excellent, I have tiny hands and usually wear children's gloves in the winter as adult small sizes are always too big, so I was concerned that these would be too big or not tight enough to do the job. I was very happy to find that they fit perfectly.Performance wise they are excellent. My fingers and wrists are so painful that I require pain meds to even get out if bed in the morning as they are stiff and throbbing, I often can't do much with them as they are so weak that I struggle to open a tin of beans, I struggle to wash my face without them shaking from pain and cutting up food is a nightmare. Since wearing these gloves I can do a lot more and go for longer with less pain, they don't get rid of the pain completely (though I never expected that, they're gloves not a miracle cure haha) but they hold it at bay long enough for me to perform some tasks longer or more effectively. They don't affect the weakness in my hands at all, but the grips on the gloves provide a helping hand in that area, I can open bottles easier, grip the cutlery so I don't need to hold so tightly with my hands etc. the Raynauds I suffer means that often I will have the fire on at home to stop my hands getting painfully cold, this often results in my body getting so warm I have headaches, so I'll turn off the fire and then my hands get freezing and painful though in general I'm still hot, this results in a lot of up and down to turn the fire off and on. It also means that my gas bill is often quite high. These gloves have really helped to keep my hands warmer, I'll turn on the fire in the morning and put these gloves on, when they've warned up I can turn the fire off and leave it off for a few hours now before my hands cool down again. Though if my hands are already painfully cold these gloves alone will not get rid of the pain, though they will help speed up the warning process.Overall I would recommend anybody with joint pain and/or raynauds to buy these gloves, they truly are amazing. I've had them only a few days now and I can honestly say that I don't know how I've managed so long without them!!

I purchased 2 pairs of IMAK Active Arthritis Compression Gloves (Grey, Small) several years ago to help has I suffer with pain in my hands.My honest and true opinion is that these are fantastic. Really ... They are not exactly cheap and one needs two pairs of them but I recommend getting them.IMAK gloves for arthritis offer gentle compression that is an effective, non-invasive arthritis reliefProvides mild compression to help control or even decrease the swelling in the jointsOpen fingertip design allows you the freedom to feel, touch and gripBreathable soft cotton material keeps hands dry and comfortable always, not hot clammy and sweatyComfortable arthritis gloves that can be worn all day and nightYou do feel the benefit straight away

My mum has arthritis in her hands and these seem to relieve her pain and swelling really well. I have bought her a few of these over the years and they seem to last for a long time. She washes them and they still keep their shape. They fit really snug so make sure you get the right size for them to be most effective. I would highly recommend these to anyone.

My sister and I suffer from arthritis I bought a pair they are so good in bought her a pair. Well worth the money. They take thee swelling down and ease the pain

i have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis and my hands really ache and are always cold, so these help me so much, love them and will order another pair.

Much much nicer than the ones I got from the hospital. Grip us great, perfect for driving. Maybe a little more compression than I would like, my hands get crampy sometimes.

These gloves are an excellent fit, which can be a oroblem when you have small hands.. They are very good quality and very warm. It will enable me to wear these underneath other gloves and also enables me to type and operate a till whilst wearing them. They might appear a little on the expensive side but are worth every penny.

These gloves have been my saviour, having early stage arthritis in the hands these help me do my job without a lot of pain, they keep my hands warm in the winter months which helps too at the same time because there are fingerless I can have full use of my fingers for the till, and the grips aid when handling goods, wouldn't be without them, have recommended them to family and customers.,
