wrist / hand pain

I AM 37 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE BEEN A DIABETIC SINCE I WAS 6I TOOK A HARD FALL TO THE NECK WHEN I WAS 26. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THE FALL I NOTICED MY KNUCKLE ON MY RIGHT HAND STARTED HURTING, THEN IT WENT INTO MY LEFT HAND AND INTO MY RIGHT AND IT GOES BACK AND FORTH WITH SWELLING, THUMB PAIN AND LACK OF WRIST MOVEMENT AND GRIP. IT COMES AND GOES ABOUT 4 TO 5 TIMES A YEAR. THE TOP OF MY HAND WILL SWELL AND THE ONLY HELP IS TAKING PREDNISONE AND PERCOCET. I HAVE BEEN TO ATLEAST 15 DOCTORS INCLUDING 4 EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS AND ANOTHER DOCTOR AT DUKE. SOME THINK ITS TENDONITIS OF SOME SORT. I CAN’T KEEP TAKING PREDNISONEBECAUSE OF MY DIABETES. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME AND WHY CAN’T ANYBODY DIAGNOSE IT AND DO SURGURY OR SOMETHING ??ANY RESPONSE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I CAN TAKE MOST ALL PAIN BUT THIS IS TERRIBLE WHEN IT COMES. I CAN’T EVEN PUT MY HAND IN MY POCKET OR TUCK IN MY SHIRT.THANKS. RESPOND OR EMAIL AT [email protected]
