Thread: New gloves and sore hands

Hey all,
New poster here. I’ve done a search, but can’t find an answer to my exact dilemma.

I’m pretty new to boxing and have been training for about 6 months. Until now I’ve been sharing a pair of training gloves with someone else at the gym. About a month ago I bought a pair of 16oz gloves to train with. The last 4 times I’ve used them they have left the ring finger of my right have quite sore. It’s mostly sore in the fleshy part of that finger, between the knuckle and first joint of the finger on the palm side of the hand. I have talked to my coach and made sure I’m punching correctly, I have tried wrapping my hand tighter and looser and also tried making a tighter or looser fist with my hand. I’ve also had my hand x-rayed, they couldn’t find anything.

The pain usually starts around the end of a workout and could be due to the depreciation of technique as I get worn out. However, this has never happened with the old gloves I used.
I have waited a week and my finger is feeling better, I am thinking of going back to the gloves I used to use and see if that changes anything. If that doesn’t work I am thinking to add some sponges to my wraps and see how it helps.

Has anyone else had a set of new gloves make their hard hurt in this way?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I should add that it mostly seems to happen during mitt session, not heavy bag.
