sore wrist with glove - suggestions?

Do they fit properly? Is the sleeve under or over the glove?

Im not an expert and that's about the only questions I have...but hopefully a bump to your topic will get someone who can help more: )

Fuzzy may be on to something. Can you try reversing which one you wear over the other and see if it helps? Depending on what type of sleeve or glove you have, you can maybe "stretch" one a little to make it more comfortable. Fitting sleeves and gloves can be incredibly complicated. Your fitter or therapist may be able to offer advice or even a remake on one or both of the garments if they are custom-made. If you have had your garments for 2 weeks I would call and ask about returning or modifying the garments because they are causing problems. With custom garments there is a small window to have a garment remade or modified. If they are off the shelf, you might want to consider getting remeasured.

What works for one person doesn't always work for another, but I would think you could try adding some light padding ( cotton, foam, stockingette,etc) and wear it for a couple of hours. Then check and see if it is helping or making it worse. It sometimes takes a couple of tries to find the combination you like. I am on my 3rd sleeve/glove custom made combo. Each time I reorder, I change the measurements to better address problems I see. Good luck!

Surfdreams, you can order custom garments one-piece or separate. They're not handy because you can't remove the glove easily to wash your hands or whatever--have to take off the whole thing. And they can be harder to don in the first place.

Garments should never cause pain or soreness. Pain draws lymph to the area (advance troops to take care of any possible invasion of bacteria or evacuation of dead cells, etc.), and that's the last thing you want. It may be there's too much compression in the area, in which case the last thing you want is to add any sort of padding, which will compress it more. (If you buy both glove and sleeve from the same company, they are aware of the double compression and generally compensate for that. Off-the-shelf garments or even custom from different companies can create extra compression in the overlap area.)

But there are other possibilities as well. You might talk to your therapist about gentle and gradual exercises to strengthen your hands/wrists, because garment-wearing really does require some extra effort to use our arms, hands and fingers efficiently.

Actually, a centimeter may be plenty--very small measurement, but because of the snug fit of our garments very small adjustments can make all the difference.

Do let us know how the remake turns out!

I usually just stretch out the glove at the wrist by putting it over a bottle or something bigger.  Works better if you do it the night before, but I've done it in the morning while I was showering and getting ready.

When you stretch the glove wrist, it's better then to use over rather than under and be compressed.

I've seen videos of all in ones being put on by arm butlers.  No doubt it will be trickier.

Good luck!
