Does anybody know of any NA surgeons in the Pittsburgh Pa area? I live in central Pa. The closest places I've seen are Ohio, NY, and NJ. All of which are 4hrs or more drive away. I recently had a second finger injected with collagenase and has worked out well so far. However, the contracture on my left hand middle finger I feel skeptical on the effectiveness of release. There is a very large nodule on the finger, a very strange dimple or should I say hole about 1/4 inch deep. The cord thickness between the palm and nodule feels to about the size of a pencil. The cord on the right hand ring finger I just had released was not as big as the one on the left. However, not all of that cord was released, a small portion is still evident and still has some contracture. I'm concerned about the same possibilty happening with the left.

Long story short, I'm thinking of trying NA on the left hand.

Here are some before and after pics and one of the left hand.

As I said awhile back I would get my wife to explain how she put the pics on this forum.

This one and the next were after injection just before I left to get the pinky straightened

To add pictures to a website from your computer:
You need to create an account at a picture hosting site. I prefer photobucket.com. (it's free) You upload pictures there from you computer and once the photos are in your album, underneath the pictures you'll see code for direct link, html and img code. All you have to do is copy and paste that IMG Code into your post and it automatically comes up.

Any and all feed back is welcome.
