[QUOTE="cott97, post: 428982, member: 70448"] Had carpal tunnel surgery three times before diabetes diagnosis - since then found a study that shows excluding any other risk factor you are 36 times more likely to develop diabetes if you have had carpal tunnel symptoms.... Have also been told it will only get worse after the diabetes diagnosis. I lost some strength in both hands on the first surgery on each and more on the second surgery to my right hand. I took 6 weeks off after each op and after the second op on right hand was very careful. Unfortunately whereas the first op kept me symptom free for 2 years, it was only 6 months after the second. I found that I had some pain after all the ops and I would expect this to raise blood sugars as an infection does as your body is having to work harder to maintain things (personal view only). The longer you can avoid over using your injured hand I would say the better - the op relies on scar tissue building up between the two cut ends of the 'tunnel' to make it bigger. I also had the feeling of the tendons jumping out of the tunnel if I over did it- perfectly normal but a really strange feeling.
