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

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.

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

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 read through many of the reviews before deciding to purchase these gloves. Most of the reviews were quite favorable, so I thought these gloves would work out for me. Anything to get rid of the pain in my hands. When I first tried them on, I wasn't sure if I had chosen the right size. I went by the size chart and my measurements were precisely in the size category. The palm of these gloves fit snugly, but the fingers seemed to be loose and went down to the end of my fingers. I did feel the warmth soon after wearing them for a short while. The grippy stuff on the gloves makes a lot of noise when my fingers move. That took some getting used to. I ended up trimming the fingers and burning the thread edges so the ends would not unravel. That worked well. One thing that highly annoyed me was the velcro on the wrist. The rough velcro side faces up on the glove and the smoother side is on the tab that fastens around the wrist. The tab only covered about 75% of the rough velcro, so it snagged on everything I wore with these gloves. I ended up modifying the velcro by loosening, trimming and restitching. I slept in the gloves, as I had read other reviewers did. I could not wait to get these gloves off as soon as I woke up. I had not found any relief through the night. My thoughts of wearing these throughout the day at work were evaporating. I did think that it would be a good idea to wear these as glove liners on my bicycle ride to work in the 40s. After my short ride to work and removing the gloves, the space in between my fingers where the glove seams are were red and irritated. I'm sure this had started by wearing them through the night. If I decide to try these again as liners on a cold morning, it will have to be in a few days, as the spaces in between my fingers are still sore and irritated. I'm trying not to be irritated that these gloves in no way lived up to any of the favorable reviews that I read.
