I bought the gloves for arthritic hands when my doctor diagnosed my arthritis last fall and they're wonderful! I bought 2 for both hands and they're really comfortable and keep the pain down.

I have arthritis in my middle joints on my fingers and found it hard to find gloves that went that far down the finger. I finally found some and they are wonderful!!! Here's the link:

My hands are terrible. They are so bad almost all joints are out of shape. Gloves didn't help. My hands must be a lost cause.

My grandmother has arthritis in her hands. She does not do crafts.....She has gloves that she wears at night for the arthritis.

I have mild arthritis in my hands and also needed something to help me push a quilt around for quilting and even long seams. On a whim I put on my Atlas gardening gloves! What a difference! I'd seen "therapeutic" gloves for over $35 and these are under $10. They have a elastic woven back so you don't get sweaty hands and the wrists are tight and long which really helps the wrists and hands. Try them!

Dandy solution!

I did hand hemming last night & both my hands are stiff & achy today. I had tests for carpal tunnel 12 yrs ago & that dr wanted to send me for surgery, but I'm not giving in until it's absolutely necessary.

Here's a site I found that looks like the one I have, but its brown. It have the stabilizer in it so your hand/wrist are stabilized. Hope this helps.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but it was hotter than h*** here yesterday and everything was turned off. Air conditioners aren't installed yet and the computer is in the hottest room in the house.
