Cure Your Arthritis
After 43-Years of Suffering with Arthritis I Shocked My Doctors
(Who Predicted I'd Soon Need A Wheelchair)
When I Naturally Cured My Arthritis...
Without Expensive Medication Or Surgery!
And I Know You Can Do The Same!
Sizing tricky, but worked out fine.,
I am 28, 5’6″ average build, average hands (you know, my ring finger is a standard 7). I ordered the medium and they were slightly big. Almost right, but not snug enough to feel like they would help. So I sent them back and they quickly and happily sent me a pair of smalls. These fit nice and snug, however I couldn’t bend my fingers without the fabric pushing my knuckles straight. I was nervous to alter them, but I ended up cutting almost an inch off of each finger and now they fit great. I think for a man, or a person with longer fingers they would be fine, but for someone like me, don’t be afraid to cut them until they feel right. In the photo, they are shown above the knuckle, which is how they came, but I felt the fabric was a little too ridgid (but that’s what makes it supportive) to have cover my already sore knuckles. That could be me though. They don’t fray either, so don’t worry to take the sciccors to them.
I have yet to wash them, so I don’t know how that will be, but they are comfortable and so far don’t make my hands all sweaty. I don’t notice the “warmth” that is supposed to make you feel better, but I definitly feel more supported while wearing them.
UPDATE: A year late (with occational use) and many washing- where I cut them to make them the right size, the stitching has come all undone. I will have to resew each finger, which is not too bad, but the material itself has not frayed.

|Not for Me,
I am a paraplegic. As such my hands and wrists get strained and sore often. I do not have arthritis.
I noticed some heat but nothing to write home about. I do have the correct size but the compression aggravates my condition. I think just a decent set of warm gloves or a muffler works much better for me.
I never have been a fan of fingerless gloves but you will need the feature if you get these. They have enough compression that getting them on and especially off is not easy. You will be wearing them while you do things. Even if it is just punching a remote, writing or handling small items. I’m left to wonder how the reviewer that likes theirs gets them on and off as it takes dexterity and a good pinch grip to get your fingers to release. I can do it but I imagine someone elderly with arthritis having quite a time. Maybe the other reviewer has assistance.
If you can’t pinch and pull very well you will probably need help getting them off. But if compression aids in pain relief you may like them. I have good circulation and did not notice much warmth at all. Maybe only those with “cold hands” will notice a benefit.
If possible find someplace local to try out first. Good Luck
One last thing. These are made of a neoprene like material and all the seams are sewn to stick out. So the gloves are like wearing something inside out but with stiff seams sticking out around the fingers. I found it agravating when using my fingers and hands. You may be able to see in picture. just be aware of this. they’re made to be smooth againt the skin but are a bit rough on the outside what with all the seams sticking up.

|A miracle,
The Thermoskin line of gloves surpasses my wildest expectations for a glove that relieves arthritis pain. I gave the gloves as a gift to a friend, and since she has received them, they have not come off her hands except to eat and shower. Comfortable and effective, from putting heat into the hand to making it possible to hold cold objects without pain, the Thermoskin gloves are a must have for anyone seeking relief from arthitis pain.

|Fashion statement? No…Arthritis.,
The mild compression and warmth these gloves provide is a help to hurting hands. Like another reviewer, I like that the fingers are long enough to cover all the joints…though I occasionally have to tug them down. I love the open finger design and thin fabric, which allow me to wear them when I work. The gray color is nice…they don’t look “theraputic”. I’ve had lots of people ask about them. They think they look cool! I’ve had a loose thread and a small section of a finger seam come loose, but not enough to bother fixing. When these wear out I will buy more, but I expect these two pair will last me a long time.

|Order size carefully,
I have rheumatoid arthritis and use these gloves under my braces. They are excellant quality and well worth the price! Sizing is tricky though. If you have swelling in your fingers and/or wrists, you may need to order up two sizes. They are pretty tight (give excellant support), but can be painfully tight too

|The relief I was hoping to find!,
I’m in my 30′s and have had arthritis for almost 14 years. The pain in my hands has been getting worse and has become more disruptive over the last couple of years, and I’ve tried several things to find relief, including topical OTC creams as well as heat wraps and other “compression” gloves. I just received my IMAK Arthritis gloves yesterday, and I’ve worn them almost non-stop since then, even while sleeping. Not only do they help my hands stay warmer (which is always a boon when dealing with arthritis), they provide support and mild compression without being uncomfortable. The gloves are not unattractive, and they are thin enough to be worn under my regular winter gloves when going outside.
The swelling in the joints of my fingers is already noticeably reduced. I will definitely be ordering at least one more pair since the washing instructions say to hand wash (I’ll be using the delicate cycle and putting them in a lingerie bag) and line dry. I have to say that I’m more excited about the results I am seeing from these gloves than I’ve been about the results/relief achieved from any of the medications, creams and heat wraps I’ve tried. I definitely recommend these gloves above any other I’ve tried.
