Do compression gloves help with performing thumb/wrist centric activities with Tenosynovitis? I'm not diagnosed, but my symptoms match pretty much perfectly, and I haven't had luck figuring out what's wrong otherwise. I also unwittingly performed the test for it, which caused me an IMMENSE amount of pain, as it apparently should. I hear that braces help, as does rest. However I am an artist, and work a job that requires me to use scissors a LOT. I've noticed that tasks that require a lot of wrist + thumb moving cause my hand to sort of Seize Up as well as just hurt really bad... but I can't just stop drawing and quit my job altogether. Would a compression glove help me while I'm performing tasks that require more effort on my wrists? I sleep with a brace and make sure to do stretches, but was wondering if a simple compression glove would help with the remaining pain/seizing while I'm moving my thumb and wrist, OR if it'd just be a waste of my money.
