Isotoner gloves

[fizzierascal]

So my MSK appointment resulted in hand therapy. They’ve issued me with one pair of isotoner gloves and I’m to report back if they make a difference or not next week. I’m currently not in agony but a fluctuating nagging pain and after a week I’m still unsure if they make a difference or not. Has anyone else used these?

Hi I haven't heard of them ones but I use compression gloves which help but at the moment my hands are throbbing and swollen and are giving me real gip at the moment xxx

Hi! I think it’s the same thing, they are compression gloves. The therapist told me to wear them all day everyday, which I haven’t been doing if I’m honest. I wear them when the nagging pain gets to much. They make the pain areas cold. But sometimes I get more pain when wearing them and sometimes it relieves the pain. So I’m really unsure what my feedback to the therapist should be. I would rather where them than take medication in all honesty.

I wear compression gloves overnight, they make a big difference to my hands getting moving in the morning.

I was specifically told not to wear them overnight. It would be so much easier than having to take the off every time I need to use the ladies
