Dupuytrens

Didn't really suffer, Mrs B, just got on with it really.

Had both hands done (separately thank goodness) a few years ago and a little finger earlier this year, and it's a doddle really.

The bad bit is not being able to drive (legally), for at least a month, but I'd recommend anyone should go about seeing their doc, getting on the list via the consultant, who will measure the decline in the digit/palm, and away you go!

Our JRT cleaned up my first one real good - just licked it for an hour and it was as clear as a bell!

Yes Mrs. B. - over about 5 years my little finger, right hand has become stuck nearly at right angles, making jobs like washing my face difficult without poking myself in the eye (not to mention not being able to play Beethoven's 5th piano symphony - not that I could before!  )

Been to see the consultant, and have agreed to take part in a clinical trial of operation v. collagenase injection, although I will tell them I want the injection treatment as already agreed. No date set yet.

Perhaps my consultant needs to have a friendly chat with your consultant! 

The clinical trial will hopefully discover which is the best treatment... eventually.
