"Cheiroarthropathy" does not feature very frequently in the search results here.
After a year of tests into the pain in my hands, and after having progressively eliminated many other possibilities, diabetic cheiroarthropathy is the diagnosis.
Along the road, diabetes itself was diagnosed.
I went to the physiotherapy ward at my local hospital on Monday following the consultants referral. They told me that they routinely deal with hand arthritis referrals but that they have not had a patient with diabetic cheiroarthropathy before.
It would seem that blood sugar control and physio are my only possible treatments.
Is anyone in the same boat?
