Title: Using compression gloves with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and arthritis
Post by: Stupidface on Sat, 21 May 2022, 12:07:03

Has anyone used compression gloves in an effort to seek relief from both arthritis and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

I ask because I am under the impression that compression gloves offer relief for the former, but serve to aggravate the latter.  Can anyone confirm whether they have found this to be the case when they tried using the gloves?

From where did you get the gloves?

However, it's important to note that everyone's experience is different, so it's definitely worth giving them a try to see if they work for you. I'd recommend starting with a pair that's specifically designed for both conditions and wearing them for short periods of time to see how they feel. Also, I wanted to mention that I got my gloves from harmonycr.com (https://harmonycr.com/sas-astro-grip-orange-nitrile-exam-gloves/) for work, and I've been really happy with their quality and comfort. They have a wide range of compression gloves specifically for arthritis and Carpal Tunnel, so it might be worth checking them out!
