Hi all, I broke my wrist in February and had a metal plate put in. Over the last few months I have notice a series of 4 or 5 small lumps along the palm of my hand. These are across the palm somewhere between the heart line and the head line on my left palm. I have had some pain, whether due to my broken wrist or not I do not know. The pain is not predictable upon certain actions but sometimes when I am typing or try and put my hands in my pocket or sometimes when I try and straighten my hand. It is like a stabbing cramp in my knuckles. I have some numbness and tingling in my little finger, my ring finger and my middle finger which I presume is due to the broken wrist.

My docter thinks this is Dupuvtren contracture and not connected with my injury. He advises 'wait & see'

I live in the UK

My question is: Do the lumps in the palm of hand always run towards the fingers as mine seem to run across the palm.

Thanks

Mary

Thanks for the reply, I have just read the article and now understand a little more. It does seem like Dupuytren's, I think I will get referred to a specialist sooner rather than later, even if it can't be treated yet, I would like to know if typing aggravates it as I don't know whether to continue working or not.
