Thermoskin Premium Arthritic Gloves Pair, Black, Relieves Arthritic Pain in Fingers and Hand, Size Medium

It really help, I bought for my mom, she wears them at bed time.

I ordered Thermoskin Premium Arthritic Gloves on behalf of my father, who contracted rheumatoid arthritis in his right hand after an injury that had caused a blood clot.My father's hand had been hurting him continuously, and the joints got so stiff that it became hard for him to do even basic tasks like comb his hair, grip or pick up objects, take an item out of his pocket, turn a key in a lock, or turn a doorknob. He couldn't sleep much because the hand hurt even worse in the night, and would swell up and feel so cold and almost numb. My father was sad and miserable because he has always been very active.Nothing provided relief from the pain or inflammation...and he'd tried Tylenol, Advil, doctor-prescribed arthritis medication - and every natural remedy he could think of, including heating pads, hot cloths, hot water soaks, Epsom salt soaks, table salt soaks, Castor Oil packs and other oil packs like Olive Oil, rubbing alcohol, herbal soaks, ginger root soaks, drinking ginger root tea, drinking sage tea, drinking thyme tea, wearing a long cotton leg warmer on the hand, lightly wrapping in an ace bandage, and more. None of these things helped, and some - the ginger soak, light bandaging, leg warmer - made the pain and swelling immediately worse. Baking soda decreased the pain and swelling a bit, but it wasn't enough.I researched options for post-blood clot care and rheumatoid arthritis care. We wanted something that would increase circulation, prevent swelling, improve flexibility and mobility, provide warmth, and stop the pain. Therapeutic gloves with compression points that reflected natural heat seemed like the best option.My father was hesitant to try therapeutic gloves, because wearing a winter glove outside or even putting his hand under a blanket or thin sheet with the rest of his body while he slept would agitate the hand and cause it to swell up and hurt intensely. We also knew that he couldn't wear just anything on the hand, since it had just recovered from the blood clot. I talked him into giving gloves a try, and he bought Ace Rejuvenating Hand Support Glove at Walgreens. The Ace gloves helped the pain and swelling, especially if he put Baking Soda inside, but the gloves made his hand hurt and swell up if he kept them on long. The Ace gloves did nothing for blood circulation or warmth.We chose Thermoskin Premium Arthritic Gloves because it has compression points that would help blood circulation, and thermoskin material that would warm his hand to exactly his perfect temperature by reflecting his natural body heat back at the hand. We felt that the gloves would be perfect for his needs. Thankfully, we were right. His hand felt so much better just minutes after he put the gloves on. It was like Cinderella finding her glass slipper. Just three months later, the glove had healed his hand so much that he now only needs to wear the gloves occasionally. With or without the gloves, he can move his hand freely again to do basic tasks, be handyman around the house, and do the rest of his daily manly tasks. He can wear the gloves indoors or outdoors. The glove keeps his hand warm even when it's cold. The hand no longer swells up or gets numb due to the glove's compression. The hand rarely hurts now, and even when it does, the pain stops when he puts the gloves on. He feels that the gloves saved his hand, because he used to be afraid that he'd lose it or have to have it amputated. In fact, before getting these gloves, there were times that he almost wanted the hand amputated because of how bad the pain was.We're very thankful for these gloves and the people who made them. It was expensive, but worth every penny.

UPDATE: I contacted the company and they are sending me out a new pair. I very much appreciate a company standing behind its product and doing so in a timely fashion!! I wouldn’t hesitate to order from this company again.I Ordered A Pair Of these Arthritic Gloves And Just After The Return Window Closed, The Stitching On Two Of The Fingers On The Right Glove Came Apart. I Only Wore Them At Night And They Weren’t Overused Or Cared For Improperly. Now I Can’t Return Them Or Get Help For This Product That Should’ve Lasted Longer Than 6 Weeks. I Am Very Disappointed. They worked great while they were stitched together.

These gloves provide a medium amount of pressure and warmth for swollen, sore hands and fingers. They cover the Distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints ( the joints closest to your finger tips). That is a hard feature to find. I had a set of these gloves that I bought in 2010 and wore for many years until I lost them. I have two new pair, one for night use and one for daytime use. I believe they are better made than my old ones!

I'm going to be completely honest with my review, because I feel like you all deserve that much.I have had extreme hand pain for over a year now. Doctors thought it was carpal tunnel. It's not; it's arthritis. Moving along, I looked through a ton of compression gloves because I'm a designer and a writer and I use my hands 8 hours a day at a minimum. I read the reviews. I thought I was safe.So far I've had two returns. So far.Return A: I have large hands for a female. According to the measurements, I needed an XL. Nope. Turns out they were far too large. I wasn't mad. I just did the claim and put in a request for a medium.Return B: Not even a week later (6 days) of use and my gloves looked like the pictures below. Holes, fraying, and stretched out to the point the compression was not helping. Submitted my return. Got another pair of mediums because I'm positive smalls will cut off circulation.Now to my actual review of what they do. Really, they help. I'm not going to lie. after a few hours, my hands feel better. Less tingling, more functionality. The gloves are warm. Too warm in my opinion. I wish the strap was a little longer so the velcro wouldn't get caught on all my sweaters. I notice a huge difference when I take the gloves off. My hands long for their compression, when they actually are not stretched out that is.The quality of this product is severely lacking. I got these specifically because they looked more heavy duty and I know I type a lot and wanted something that would last.I was wrong.I'm on my third pair. I've had them three days. They're already fraying. If I get another hole, I'm getting my money back and giving these a one star. They're only getting three because they work when they are not falling apart and getting holes. I hate going through the hassle of returning merch. While these help my hands for a few days, I do not want to be in an endless cycle of returning.
