Thergonomic Frank A. Edmunds Hand-Aids Support Gloves, Large, HA-4

Okay so I thought I was going to wait a week or two before writing this review but I got the gloves last night and this morning my hands feel so good I just have to sing praises.Background: I have had carpal tunnel since I was 11 years old. It's so bad you can actually see the tending bumping up under the skin at the wrist. I also have OA in both hands due to a lifetime of fractures and broken bones, and tendonitis in both thumbs and the middle finger of my left hand. In short ... my hands are in bad shape. I crochet, knit, paint, draw, I'm a gamer, a computer programmer, and in my teens I was a Wal-Mart cashier. Pretty much all of the things that cause hand pain, I do or have done for long periods of time. My hands go numb all the time. Washing dishes, sleeping, knitting, using a mouse, etc. Most of the time when they go numb the feeling doesn't come back simply by dangling them below heart level and letting the blood back in, they have to be massaged vigorously to get the blood through them and sensation returns slowly and painfully.So .,.. back to the gloves. I've tried compression gloves and braces before but most of the time they just cause hot spots, restrict my ability to do the things I love, and the pain returns as soon as I take them off. I got these gloves last night and put them on as soon as they arrived. I've been working on a very big knitting project pretty much non-stop for weeks so my hands were in brutal shape by the time the gloves got here. Right off the bat I noticed more support for my thumbs but my hands were still hurting so I sat for about 10-15 minutes and watched TV with both hands resting in my lap. After this short period of time I picked my knitting up and started working on it again. It felt like I'd taken a break for a few hours rather than 10-15 minutes. My hands weren't like brand new yet but there was definitely surprising improvement. I ended up wearing the gloves for several hours, even after I'd put the knitting away for the night, and finally took them off when I realized I was starting to get a sore spot on my right hand between my ring finger and my pinky. I went to bed last night and woke up this morning in shock. My hands didn't wake me up ONCE during the night. NOT ONCE. No tingling, no falling asleep, no hurting, no cramping. When I woke up this morning they both had full feeling and range of motion. I didn't have to massage them, run them under warm water, do my carpal tunnel stretches to loosen them up ... nothing. SHOCK AND AWE!So Day One's Impression: THESE GLOVES ARE A FREAKING MIRCALE!

Sometimes I knitting for several hours a day. At times my wrist and thumbs get sore. These gloves help to massage away the pain. The first pair I owned lasted over 10 years. I frequently wear them inside out so that the seam does not irritate my hands.

I wanted to love these but due to a health condition & being obese, these actually caused my hands to swell (like the gloves were cutting off the circulation). Even tho the measurements matched up to being my size, they were too tight after a short period of time. I know many that do love these gloves; however, just didn’t work for me.

Worked

I just out these one for the first time. The stitching is horrible!!! Cost of $16 dollars is ridiculous for this poorly stitched item. So disappointed

Gloves work well but they need to air for nearly a week before the chemical smell eases up enough to wear. They also run a bit small. Still, I would recommend for carpal tunnel pain.

I have used these gloves for several years. hey make your hands feel so good. I originally used them for cross stitch but now I keep them on when I use the computer, etc. They make your hands feel so good. If I could figure out how to use them when gardening without destroying them I would.

When I knit having some arthritis in my fingers these gloves make it easier & comfortable.
