[QUOTE="himtoo, post: 736558, member: 142835"] Hi [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] this is a story that evolved over time-- first finger to develop symptoms was middle finger of my left hand ( left handed) -- this was back in 1973 not long after my diabetes was diagnosed. at the time i was 15 and it was a great party trick to have my finger lock. it was operated on when i was 29 as it was completely locked in fist position all the time. the other 4 fingers have been at intervals of between 4 to 6 years as the symptoms have started to develop. i have had steroid injections on most of them to ease the pain prior to being operated on. as for pain afterwards -- not really a lot -- always back in work the day after surgery ( desk job) all 5 have been successful -- no recurring symptoms - however the last operation on my left index they must have slightly damaged the nerve as i have a faint feeling like pins and needles in the finger or just a bit of numbness. -- you do sign a disclaimer stating this can happen though. my palms are a bit lumpy but not too bad and i do rub cream into them to keep the skin soft [/QUOTE]
