For my RSI {hand/wrist sx} I used a neoprene wrap with a thumb loop.
I needed more support, pressure & warmth for my wrist area at the time.
some images of wrist wraps/ styles.
http://images.google.com/images?hl=e...-8&sa=N&tab=wi

Later on I did get one with a thumb support also.
I still keep all my rsi gadgets in a drawer - just in case...

My fingers are/were uncoordinated but not really cold or painful - so i didn't need fingered glove or wrap for that area.

I think some did get soft or silky thin gloves because of coldness and the slight pressure helped for them too.

I wonder if the gloves are bulky for activities, or if you are only supposed to wear them while resting?

What area or symptoms are bothering your hands?

Wow - this site is great.

I get hot swollen hands, and I also get swollen cold hands, so I need two products, one that heats and one that cools.

So I wrote a rather lengthy description of what I need to this company, and I will share the response. I don't want something that sticks to my skin and makes it sweaty and peely - with RSD, one doesn't need that going on.

I checked off the list for ALL of their catalogues and I am excited to get them and share the info.

Thank YOU for sharing this info.!!!

Did you find any kind that you prefer?
I am not sure about the gloves I have listed above. I hate to order them, and then have to send them back.
