It doesn't make much sense and I don't get it. That's why I need Jemma to figure this one out. Maybe Hive was amplifying me and stopped the pain? I did wear some bracers for a little bit in Season 3. In the episode "Spacetime" for sure
That was a gooder!

True, but you've been a one woman army since you left Shield. You're using your abilities way much more than what saw in season two and three in your attack on the Watchdogs, and not giving yourself any downtime to heal. Plus, you've never looked completely healed since Hive took you over, even after he was removed.
Take a break, woman. -

In the comics Daisy is immune to damage from her ability. The gauntlets were created to help her focus her power more effectively.
Unfortunately, tv writers keep going back to the he/she can't use their powers without being damaged trope. You'd think they'd have learned from Krings inept handling of Hiro after a brilliant first season. -

OK this version of Quake can hurt herself. Take that as a given even if you don't like it. What they have shown us so far is that she is over-using her powers. Why ? Well for one thing she isn't packing. No gun. Go back and look at that fight scene in 2x19 and you will see did more with the gun than her power. Second the over-use of her power makes physical combat often (not always obviously) damn near impossible due to the damage to her hands which compounds the problem.
As for the frequency of power use she is driving herself beyond reason out of depression (death of boyfriend), shame (asking squid-ward to take her back) and the need to stop the hunting of her people, result in the damage we have seen. -

I don't understand why everyone is getting this wrong. Here are the facts:
Daisy wore the gauntlets in 2x15, to INHIBIT her powers.
Lincoln removed them in 2x16 as part of the healing process.
She used her powers without damage, and without any gauntlets, ever again.
The only time she seemed affected in any way was at the portal, and I am pretty certain that was due to the gigantic resonant response of the room. That is, after all, what it was designed for. Even then, it drained her, it didn't break her bones.
Afterlife locked them on her in 2x22 to inhibit her from using her power, she explicitly tells that to Mac. Then Lincoln removes the shackles and gauntlets, and she immediately goes and knocks the jet off of the carrier.
She then used her powers without incident until the fight scene with Lash at the end of season 3. Just before he sucked the parasites out of her, she 'quaked' him and it seemed to drain her and hurt her arms.
The gloves were NEVER re-engineered to enhance and funnel her powers, to the best of my knowledge. If so, I would like to know which episode deals with that. She has several long sleeved black outfits, and a couple of different pairs of black gloves, but NONE of these were the gauntlets. They are of a quite specific design, with rows of nubbins on them, and they are fingerless and don't quite reach her elbows. RE: 2x15 for a good look, and again in 2x22. That is the only times they are shown. Well, briefly in 2x14 when Coulson gives them to her, but she first puts them on in the next episode.

Yes I believe that she's doing it to herself subconsciously as punishment/atonement/penance for her actions when she was controlled by Hive. She blames herself for the deaths of Andrew, Lincoln, and others. That's also why she left the team she doesn't feel like she deserves their friendship and/or that she'll only cause them pain.
It's also possible that she's just using her powers more recklessly. Purposefully going past the threshold that she can safely control and that is causing the injuries. So for example if on a 10 point scale she can safely control her powers at a 6-7 level now she's going 8-9 constantly and that's causing injuries. Same as if you were lifting heavier weights than what you could handle and not resting enough in between you'd injure yourself. -

If she was going 8-9 constantly, half the city would be rubble. Now her powers are taxed by a falling shelf. Can't wait until they make Ghost Rider fizzle out and smoulder due to a crisis of faith, or something equally ridiculous.
Then they could have Tony Stark's arc reactor fail, and force him to use wind power to charge his batteries so he can fly to the end of his driveway and pick up his mail once a week. -

If she's not giving herself time to heal and still constantly going all out she would be getting weaker though. Thinking of power like a muscle that's being overworked its easy to see how a falling bookshelf after weeks maybe months of overuse would become an issue.
Also that was just one possibility I do think the more likely possibility is that she's directing some of her powers inward and hurting herself like the first time she tried controlling
