@christo12345 Same for me... turned the compression gloves inside out... do not understand why they aren't made that way in the first place!! I was wearing my glove in the grocery store this summer... some snot hole teenage girls made fun of me! "Nice glove...". I really wanted to punch them in the face... at the time it made me really sad... I've got a little more perspective now... but STILL wish I could make them understand the hurt they caused!! Also found that wearing the glove opened the door for people to ask me what was wrong with me! Why was I holding my arm strangely and couldn't use it at all. Couldn't push the cart, couldn't lift the heavy items etc. Once you wear the glove they feel open to asking questions... which was fine with me... the problem was I didn't have anything really to tell them. I'd just say "I've got a pinched nerve". That was enough. When I was in hand therapy, had the same issue, people had all these cool injuries... "ran my hand through the power saw", "smashed my hand in a door" type of injuries... then they would ask me what my issue was... I've got nothing to tell them! Nothing to point to as a cause... just woke up in horrible pain...

You’re making me laugh because I can really identify with you! Finally realized it’s better to walk along side the grocery cart and pull with good hand as opposed to listing to the right! Definitely a learning “curve” with this condition. ; )
