Doody, I havent used gloves but I do find that a Salonpas patch cut in half and one half on top of each hand brings real relief all over hands and fingers, esepcially when I am on computer or packaging the glass I sell as that can really stress hands and cause flares for me
I heard about the salonpas from mrsD and use them on feet too
salicylate and menthol
I get mine at Albertson's or Walgreens @ $3.99 for 40 patches
