My sweetie had surgery about 2 months ago and his poor hand is giving him so much pain. Heat seems to help a lot. I was thinking of getting him warming packs to put in some snug fitting gloves. Does anyone know of a manufacture that makes such an item. Any suggestions for pain relief would be appreciated.
He just started massaging the hand with vitamin e.

If your sweetie is having physical therapy, they may be dipping his hand in melted wax and then wrapping the hand in a towel. stays warm a long time. Also, fancy spas have these electric warm mittens that warm your hands after they put cream on them. maybe not very practical but still pleasant.

Stores that carry ski clothing and supplies have little chemical hand warming pacets that are meant to be worn inside of gloves. They stay warm for 2-4 hours and are very in expensive. There are also some larger and more expensive chemical hand warmers that are reusable that you heat in boiling water or a microwave. Sometimes you can find those at a pharmacy.

Two years ago, I had surgeryon my hand. It happened again. Same hand. This time around I had the FDA approved injections- no surgery. It worked wonders.

Only after 3 weeks, I still feel a pulling and at the sight it looks kinda red. The dr. says give it time. I exercise the hand everyday allowing me to make a tight fist. I also have arthritis in the other fingers which doesn't help.
