Tommie Copper Motion Fingerless Gloves for Arthritis & Carpal Tunnel Relief - Compression Support Gloves for Typing, Gaming & Outdoor Activities

I decided to purchase these gloves because I have several medical issues that cause both pain and numbness in my hands and fingers. I have had a good experience (thus far) with Tommie Copper knee sleeves, so I decided to give these gloves a try, hoping that they would relieve some of the pain and numbness. For sizing, I referred to and followed the sizing information on the Tommie Copper website. I could have gone down a size for more compression but, for my use, the recommended size fits comfortably, with light compression and good support.As with the knee sleeves, the fabric is surprisingly lightweight and breathable. I have been wearing them every day for about a month and they have not stretched out, whatsoever.I wash them in a laundry bag on the delicate setting and allow them to air dry.When I am wearing them, they definitely relieve some of the pain, but I'm not yet sure about the numbness. However, the overall quality and the pain relief they provide is sufficient for a five-star rating. They also have strategically placed grip spots on the palm that enable me to open sodas and jars far more easily than with bare hhands.Although I'm not really using them as intended, I would still recommend them and, in my opinion, I think they are worth a try for people with hand pain. This is, of course, based solely on my experience.
