[Diabetes-talk] tendonitis

[Tara M. Carty]

Hi Debbie! I too just recently have had trouble with tendonitis in my wrist. 
My orthopedic doctor blamed it on my white cane and the repetitive motion. 
For a few months now I have worn a brace during the day when I do the most 
activity and some special exercises he showed me. I take the brace off at 
night and these few things have made a difference. I do not recommend the 
shots because they are temporary relief and it will throw off your sugars. 
Diabetics and steroids do not mix! Good luck and I hope you feel better.
