...or similar. Do they help with stiffness and circulation? Or are they a waste of money?

If keeping your finger joints warm feels helpful then they will help. Not aware that compression helps arthritis at all

That's kind of what I thought. Maybe the compression works a bit like support bandages...which I found useful for my knees in the past.
OH wears something similar for his arthritis. It just feels more comfortable if the wrist and fingers are kept warm.
For rheumatoid arthritics, there is no evidence that they make any difference to any of the symptoms, pain, swelling or dexterity.

In circulatory problems they are of no help at all.

A money spinner then, sqad? I guess it also depends on how a person perceives their discomfort. If they think it will help, maybe it does.
pasta....maybe...;-)
I see no harm in you trying these gloves pasta , . They may help .
The cold really affects arthritis so on the level i think they’d help but gosh they look medical.. :S
It’s not hot or cold weather which affects arthritis but rather the change in pressure. I was told this by my arthritis doctor, and arthritis uk seem to agree.
I bought these gloves ( I have Rheumatoid Arthritis). They were useless, made my hands very hot and itchy and did not help with pain or stiffness. Turmeric and Black Pepper supplements have helped me in conjunction with the Biological Therapy I'm now on.
