Trigger Finger…
Evelyn,
I believe diabetics are just more PRONE to trigger finger… and hammer toe. I had 3 trigger fingers, two of which were released, the third Tx-ed with cortisone. I had a release done on my foot for hammer toe, which in turn, lead to charcot. I would not recomment hammer toe release for any diabetics with neuropathy for more than 15 years because of the charcot connection. I wish I had stuck with the hammer toe! (Which I still have, by the way, attached to my mis-shapen foot.) Grrrrrrrrrrr.
