Gloves?

Do they make gloves for use with lifting weights and would you recommend any?
I have hand pain from carpal tunnel and autoimmune arthritis and in finding that my hands are hurting more from all my work in the gym. I don't think gloves would solve all of it, but I do think some padding between my hands and what I'm gripping might help.

    yes they make weight lifting gloves with the tips of the fingers cut out.

    Thank you. Are there differences in styles/brands that I should look for?

    I know it's probably not a suggestion you'd want to hear, but what about using machines on bad days? They wouldn't ask so much of your grip. They're not perfect, but they do the job.

    I believe the brand I have purchased most often is Harbinger. Some use velcro straps to secure and others are just slip-on type. They help but don't eliminate the discomfort. I sometimes feel pain because of rings so I have to take them off despite the gloves.
