Compression glove?

I have a question. I have been wearing the finger sleeves on two fingers for the past month. Dave suggested these since the swelling in my fingers was still bad after receiving a Xiaflex injection a few months ago.

It really makes my fingers feel much better when I wear them several hours during the day and the swelling goes down. Right now my right hand is very painful. I have quite a few new nodules forming and it's tender and I get shooting pains in it frequently. I was wondering if using a compression glove would be of any help. Has anyone tried wearing one and was it helpful? Just seems like the support and a little bit of compression might make it feel better.

Thoughts?

Hey Dawn,I have been wearing the neoprene half finger gloves and they do improve circulation big time.After about 2-3 hours your hands are hot but flexabilty is doubled.They are an arthritic glove and the fingers only go to the knuckle.Of course Ive tried them,your not surpised by that are ya.lol.Dave

I am not surprised, Dave! lol. This is the one I bought. I looked for a glove for arthritis but the drugstore only had this one. http://www.amazon.com/Futuro-Energizing-...rds=futuro+hand

The other new development is that I have a hard knot in-between my index and middle finger. I guess you'd call that the webbing? Can you get a nodule there? All the other nodules are down in my palm. But this one is in that skin between the fingers and it is really painful. Odd.
