Does Anybody Use Compression Gloves For Hand Pain?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have fibro and osteoarthritis, and Im struggling with pain and swelling in my hands. I find a heat pack helps but have to wear a glove and put the patch on that as Ihave burnt myself more than once. Also, not practical during the day.
Does anybody use compression gloves to help pain?

I type all day for work and sometimes feel the stuffiness build throughout the day. Compression gloves help but make it a little harder to work. I find if I put them on a take a break for 30 to 60 mins the stiffnesses and swelling goes away and I can take them off and be fine. They do tend to heat my hands up, which is nice for a moment but can quickly become too much.

I also have Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis (in various joints), but the worst is in my hands and fingers. Compression gloves along with heat, as well as the use of a paraffin bath for my hands help ease the swelling and pain.
