[QUOTE="badmedisin, post: 135783, member: 16874"] Annoying, isn't it? Sometimes I feel like if I got shot in a drive-by, the doctor would say "well, there's a much higher incidence of random shootings on diabetics. You just need better control." But hand and shoulder problems definitely are much more common in diabetics. I'm convinced it's because type 1 is an autoimmune condition and my stupid body wants to kill me! But that's just on my bad days... I have noticed that things usually go wring on my right side and the left invariably follows. I had busitis in my right shoulder, which took years of physio and evil steroid injections and a ton of codeine before I got a diagnosis and an operation. They operated two years ago and it's ok now, but it's taken me those two years to persude them that the left shoulder is the same. I'm having the op for that next week so I'm in constant panic now. Anaesthetics scare me. Also I had carpal tunnel last year. They diagnosed that quickly because I pointed out that it was the three fingers that are affected by carpal tunnel. That stopped them trying to fob me off with neuropathy, better control, blah blah blah. When I was recovering from that op, my left hand started to show symptoms. Great! Luckily when I went back to using my right hand for everything the left got better. I got trigger thumb right after having the operation, then one of the fingers on my left hand started to go as well. Oddly they both got better on their own. Which is nice. So really it's all fun and games when it comes to diabetes and your extremities! [/QUOTE]
