[QUOTE="Russem, post: 1457373, member: 208938"] I've also had Carpel Tunnel in my right hand and when I went for tests I was advised that it was in my left hand as well but I didn't feel the left one was bad enough yet so only had the operation on my right hand. I also have Dupuytrens Contracture on my fourth finger of my right hand and I'm waiting on an appointment for the hand clinic to see what treatment they are going to do for it. I do have Osteoarthritis in most of my joints including both hands which I have had for many years but my hands are now causing problems for me. When the arthritis was diagnosed about 20 years ago the Orthopedic surgeon said it was most likely due to my diabetes but my diabetic doctor disagreed. I've been type 1 diabetic since 1975 and my control has been reasonably good and I'm not overweight so not everyone is the same. I also have neuropathy in my feet which causes balance problems, I haven't taken medication for it yet although it does wake me up sometimes during the night. I hope you get the correct diagnosis soon, good luck [/QUOTE]
