Has anyone tried compression gloves?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭

I get nerve pain in my fingers a lot and medication can’t always relieve it. I was wondering if anyone has had luck with compression gloves and what brand(s) you tried.

Ashley see if your doctor can proscribe a stronger NSAID like celebrex or meloxicam. Both are specific for arthritis inflammation. I ordered some gloves by Vive based on what myRAteam recommended.

Many people with rheumatoid arthritis have tried compression gloves and shared mixed experiences. Some find them helpful for reducing pain, swelling, and stiffness, especially during flares. Brands like IMAK, Vive, and Thermoskin are popular. IMAK gloves provide mild compression and warmth, Vive gloves have a "smart seam" design to prevent irritation, and Thermoskin gloves offer heat and compression. It's best to consult your doctor before trying them.
