[QUOTE="Rachelds, post: 1457242, member: 399989"] I'm the same! My gp didn't offer any diagnosis but referred me to an orthopaedic/ rheumatologist. Saw them 3 months ago and after nerve induction test, MRI and X-ray they've concluded I have 3 separate conditions...carpel tunnel on both thumbs for which I had a dose of steroid injections (took 3 weeks to work but they're nearly normal now after a year of trigger thumbing and then unable to bend them!) Dupuytren's contracture on both hands (do you have lumps on your palms?) and arthritis on ring finger. These can all be due to diabetes and high sugars. I've been type 1 for 40 years and have been very lucky up until now with no complications. Please don't worry yourself, these can all be helped considerably by injection, minor op and hand therapy. But it has certainly made me test more regularly and have better control, don't know why I hadn't really before but hey ho. Just had some chocolate and glass of wine lol. Keep us updated and fingers crossed xx [/QUOTE]
