The medical supply store that ordered a gauntlet and sleeve made it worse as it made the fingers much worse. I've been researching about wrapping and have been doing it and wearing a 3/4 finger glove during the day. It's helping quite a bit. But I can't be the only one going through this. Any pointers or suggestions.....
