     Well, I don't know if anyone else has ever heard of this, but
there are some kind of gloves made just for this type of problem.
They are made from spandex-like material and look like weightlifting
gloves (i.e., they have the finger ends cut off)  Now, I've only seen
them once and have absolutely no idea if they work or not, but since
you are having problems you may want to ask around.  In fact, if you'd
like, I can try and track down the person who I saw had them.
