I was a little skeptical at first but figured I would try the compression gloves. I have arthritis in my hands and at night the pain was so bad it would wake me up sometimes. I got my gloves and I absolutely love them! The pain has not magically gone away, but the time my hands hurt is reduced immensely with the gloves. They are so light, barely feels like they are on. I am no longer waking up in the middle of the night with pain. I want to purchase and entire body compression glove if it helps this much! 😉
