I already wrote on this forum looking for help to make a diagnosis, but now I have a diagnosis and I wanted to share my experience.
I'm 59, a few months ago I fell on a hard surface on the palm of my right hand, with the hand outstreched. This generated three separate problems, which I have finally diagnosed after several visits with had doctors: scapholunate ligament tear, Dupuytren disease and non stenosing flexor tenosynovitis (also called "trigger finger"). I'm pretty sure that at least the last two are strictly correlated and I'm curious to hear if anyone else had the same experience.
My symptoms are: for Dupuytren, the classic lumps on the palm of my hand, near the 4th and 5th fingers. For tenosynovitis, the 4th and 5th fingers are stiff and swollen near the junctions; in the morning when I wake up I can hardly flex them, and when I try to do that I feel considerable pain along the path of the flexor tendons (on the fingers and even more on the palm).
As a treatment for tendonitis, my doctor prescribed a custom made thermoplastic splint, to wear at night. This is made of hard plastic-like material and covers most of my forearm and my hand, keeping my 4th and 5th fingers in a semi-bent position. I have been wearing it for one month now, but the situation got even worse and I'm considering stopping this treatment. The issue here is that I didn't find any other alternative treatments... maybe the Dupuytren is causing my tenosynovitis and for this reason it cannot heal properly?
