Hi Kelly. Between us we have two good hands and arms.
The compression glove is used to help bring down the swelling in my hand. I don't know if it worked but the swelling is much improved since I first developed CRPS (Dec 2012). I don't really use it as a compression glove anymore because the swelling is under control.
I do sometimes use it to keep my hand warm at work. Not that my office is cold but I'm sure you know how my hand can get cold sometimes. The glove is really thin, though, so I can still work with it on. Plus, the material doesn't irritate my skin.
I'm going on holiday tomorrow and I plan to wear the compression glove during the flight in case my hand swells more than usual. I'm not sure how much good it will do but it is worth trying.
Are you right or left hand dominant? (I'm right hand dominant.)
Kim
