[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1844300, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=402880]@Stu_the_blue[/USER], I have been on insulin for 51 years. I have a middle finger that about 4 years ago developed a slight bend, could not be straightened. But over time I have stretched it out as straight as I could and it is still slightly bent when straightened but not as much. The following are other hand conditions which may not be related but seem to have similar tissue issues. 22 years ago I suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome when extra tissue builds up around the nerve as it goes through and tunnel in the centre of the wrist and squeezes the nerve, plus trigger fingers where the tendon running along the finger develops a lump which has difficulty slipping through the tissue 'pulleys'. I would close my finger like making a fist and the lump would slide through and get stuck so that I could not straighten that finger except by extreme effort or using my other hand. And when the lump slipped back through the finger would suddenly straighten, hence the description of trigger. Best Wishes and I hope your troubles do not inconvenience you too much . [/QUOTE]
