My husband has Dupuytren's in both hands and it has been progressing for about 7 years. One failed surgery and now Xiaflex injections. His fingers are at the worst stage where all affected fingers are closed against his palms with no movement.He had injections on Monday. That was not bad as far as pain, and only a little to moderate swelling. Went this afternoon to get his finger pulled as the doctor described it.. shots for pain and then the doctor pulls his finger, a few pops and then, it was all down hill from there...the skin under his finger next to his palm was pulled apart and ripped open because of the length of time the finger was stuck down and the severity of his cord . It was badly bleeding, and left a hole the size of a quarter on his finger and palm, the finger was released to a certain point but because of the injury, he was advised not to try to move it until he returns on Thursday. I will keep you posted on his progress...Thanks for reading,Karyn

Thanks for your comments, We were back at the hospital today with bleeding problems. Need to go back tomorrow for another check-up and maybe skin grafting. I can say that if you expect the worst and come out better then you will be better off than going in thinking that the worst can not happen to you. This is much worse than what we were told, although the doctor did tell us some of the good and bad of these injections, you never think that it could be this bad. We are hoping it was all worth it.
Thanks again for reading and looking forward to hearing about your procedure. Karyn
