Looking for suggestions for 20-30 hg gloves that won’t cost a fortune.

Used my garment Medicare allotment and was told I needed gloves. Does anybody know of any solid performers that won’t break the bank. Thank you in advance

@royglassner, I'm tagging a few members like @johnbishop @theodorastronger @mireckij @debec who may have some suggestions for you. Have you found any reasonably priced compression gloves?

@colleenyoung Thanks Coleen. I have not found any gloves yet . I had to buy a pair for $300. In hopes Medicare will help subsidize. The biggest problem with these gloves is the fact that I don’t want to wear them outside of the house in fear of losing them. I would live to find a pair or two for the car or shopping so if I take them off I can be a little more at ease. There are so many on the market at reasonable price points that surely some must be adequate. Once again any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!🙏

Thank you for asking.
I did find some, but I didn’t find them helpful. (The gloves I purchased were Norco therapeutic compression gloves.)

The (generic) Humira I’m taking for RA is helpful however!

Hello @royglassner, I don't have lymphedema in my hands so haven't used the gloves with compression ratings but I have used compression gloves to help with arthritis and carpal tunnel pain in both hands. I did see some 20-30 mmHg rated compression gloves for men and women for $127 - https://www.amazon.com/mediven-Harmony-Seamless-20-30-Glove/dp/B07YN3SB7G/ref=sr_1_6.

The ones I use have a lot of compression and seem similar in compression to my compression socks I used for the lymphedema in my legs. Here's the ones I bought for $10 for 2 pair - https://www.amazon.com/Arthritis-Compression-Rheumatoid-Osteoarthritis-Anti-Slip/dp/B0B2BXS1Y2. If you already have ordered spendy medical grade compression gloves, it might be worth ordering some cheap ones like this to use outside the house as a test.
