He put me on anti inflamatory drugs for 4 weeks and they did nothing, then he referred me to the Neurologist, who, after some tests confirmed it wasn't Carpel tunnel syndrome and suggested it might be a trapped nerve so he booked me in for a nerve function test.Incidentally when have a Physio at work and I went to see him. He reckons that I have a problem in my neck with some of the discs causing pressure on the nerves in my spine. He gave me some exercises to do which seemed to help but the problem still exists but to a lesser degree. Also my problems started while I was at Centre Parcs and it may be down to the very soft bed I was sleeping in and that I was sleeping on my arms and generally not sleeping well at all. I went to France for 2 weeks recently and slept in a firm bed and don't recall having the problems with my handsthen but on coming back and sleeping in my own bed they started again, my bed is also reasonably soft.Still doesn't explain the burningthough which I am hoping is down to anxiety or something else other than Diabetes.</blockquote>
