Heberden’s nodes: Does anyone use finger sleeves?

I have tried finger sleeves custom made by my OT but Zi haven’t had much luck keeping them on. I have Erosive Degenerative Osteoarthritis in both hands with Heberden’s nodes. I wear compression gloves, braces & supports on both hands. Tried making cookies & candy for the holidays. Definitely not my smartest move.

I was trying to say that I don’t have much success keeping the finger splints on. In addition to the Heberden’s nodes, I also have Bouchard’s nodes. I have the most trouble with the thumb on my right hand as far as bruising & pain go. (I am left-handed.) I have very little ability to bend the fingers on my right hand & a fist is impossible. The problem hit my left hand later and I have fairly good mobility in my middle & baby fingers.
