They work almost instantly. They reduce the swelling in the hand joints, which in turn reduces the pain. They are also very lightweight, not thick and bulky like others. I've purchased them for my brother, and for my sister-in-law (not a couple, different family), and they both love them. My SIL said she wore them at night and the next morning she could hold a coffee cup by its handle, which she hadn't been able to do in over a year. You can clearly see the swelling go down. I can go from a tight wedding ring, to wearing the gloves for an hour, and the ring is spinning after.
Tammy Mckenzie I know Walgreens sells them. They are located near the senior assistive stuff, and not by the leg braces/wraps. You can also get them on Amazon. Go one size down from what you think you'd be.
Tammy Mckenzie no, they can be worn any time. That example is just one from her, but I wear them at work a lot when I'm typing ... Or when it's hot and the swelling is worse.
Yes I love them... I give myself massage with coconut oil or essential oils and then put the gloves on to sleep or during the day and my hands feel much better.
I read the previous post from someone and bought lmak gloves from Amazon and tried it. It was nightmare for me. I have brand new one except that I just tried them on, that I can give it away since it cost money to return it. PM me if anyone wants it. I can mail it to you. I forgot that since I started having RA symptoms, I can’t put my hands in anything tight like holding socks after laundry.
My partner tried some last night and said they helped except that they were so painful to take off in the morning. Is that usual or could they be too tight?

I get mine from Amazon. I use them to sleep.
Ditto
I have trouble with my left hand and wrist. Do you think the gloves would help my wrist as well??
When my wrists hurt bad I use the gloves and wrist brace to bed
Kathleen Shipman as do I
Yes! I have compression gloves, and ankle and knee sleeves and wrist braces and toe compression sleeves too. I love them all.
I use essential oils like peppermint, frankencense, etc. On my swollen hands and then put the compression gloves on while I sleep. Seems to help.

Why can't you use them? Are we not supposed too?
I was just saying it doesn’t work for me. Confined space like compression gloves, my hands and fingers are way more painful than without.
Akiko Hubbard yes - painful to get them on and then to get them off !
Susu Wilkins I thought I am the only one feeling that way!
I do ... Ankle, Wrist and I have 2 splinter rings. I use as needed, the weather and stress affects my inflammation.
I'm seriously considering it! I worry that they'll be too hot though
Yes!!!! Bought on amazon. I wear them anytime my hands or wrists are hurting me.
what is the purpose of compression gloves?
Valerie Cook it helps alleviate swelling which helps alleviate pain.
Do you have the link to the kind you bought on amazon?

Rhona Rodrigues thank you so much. Appreciate the help.
My partner tried some last night and said they helped except that they were so painful to take off in the morning. Is that usual or could they be too tight?
It's normal. They have to be tight to compress. It can be quite painful to remove in the morning
Thanks Kathleen
Yes!
