Glove Problems

I got gloves finally. But the fingers on the glove only go up about halfway, so when I wear them the top half of my fingers seem to swell worse and get colder than the rest of the hand (it is winter here in WI).

Does anyone else have problems like that with their gloves?

    Cinnamon, I had to have my custom Juzo remade several times as the fingers were too short. My LE therapist wanted them "to the nail beds".

    I would return them and get gloves with longer fingers: cold swollen fingers are not good.

    Gloves are really, really tough.

    Cinnamon, my gloves end about 3 cm. below the nail bed, but cover to the second joint. If they are custom, I would ask for them to be remade. I'm sending you a private message. If you're using one of the fitters in Wausau that I use, I have some comments.

    I found out online that Juzo actually makes a glove with a longer finger. I TOLD those ladies that had swelling in my fingers!!! And they gave me gloves with half fingers. I am so tired of medical people getting things wrong!!
