Got a glove today... questions..

How is the glove supposed to fit? It seems to fit well on my hand/palm but the fingers are a bit loose, especially near my finger tips. The next-smallest sized glove I tried on was painfully tight and I knew I'd never wear it so I went with the bigger one. It's not uncomfortable but I just don't know if it's "right" or will cause me more problems. 

I actually got gloves & sleeves for both sides, just to have them preventatively, but the only problem I've had is some minor swelling & discomfort on my prophylactic side. It may be mild LE or possibly a chemo side effect... I also have some neuropathy in my fingertips so maybe it's something to do with that. LE therapist was confounded. Anyway, can I just wear the glove & not the sleeve? I don't have any swelling or anything in my arm, it's just my hand. The sleeve is annoying. Actually the glove is annoying too but easier to take on & off if I need to.

So if there are gaps near my finger tips should I get out the sewing maching & try to modify them??? Or are the gaps OK? I tried looking for pictures of proper fit but I couldn't find any that showed gapping fingers. 

Not a fan of this compression stuff, it just doesn't feel good, I feel claustrophobic in them. Maybe I should just stash them away in case I ever get on a plane???
