I'm a 45yo male, California resident w kaiser insurance. I've been diagnosed with; DC by my primary physician, with pyeronies disease by chief of urology and plantar fasciitis by a podiatrist. Additionally I'm challenged due to the associated pain to; lift hands above my shoulder, fasten seatbelt or lie on my side in bed.

[*]PF is a lump mid sole of right foot about diameter of golf ball and approx 1/3 the height. To date I'm understood that surgery will cause flat foot - so I've been dealing with it - using orthotics and cutting a hole where the PF makes contact ( kinda hard in flip-flops - and as native Cali's know this is about 10m out of the year)

[*]DC has been diagnosed onset about 2 mo ago - nodules present and pallable on 4 didgets of both hands located midline of phalanges on palm...there are tender points / nodules mid phalange of thumbs but these just came up last couple weeks and haven't had "official" diagnosis.

* Peyronie's recently diagnosed - it's been effecting / present for 9-12 mo but has gotten to a 35-40degree bend which is impeding my ability to be intiment with my wife...we both bear through it, out of sheer necessity, every 4-6wks. Physician recommended Xiaflex or graft surgery.

[*]I've had issues w shoulders the last 3mo. Left was dislocated about 20m ago and was reset immediately after incident (falling off zip line I was riding w my youngest daughter and arm got tangled in safety lines and I was suspended by arm/rope) help resetting it was done by a field medic. Issues now are the aforementioned.

I'm trying to identify the correlation. Individual physicans of kaiser can't seem to communicate to get on the same page - understanding I've met w the chief of the depts and their wrapped up in their world. But trying to earn my MD via the internet I've found reference that all 4 may be correlated - but I've not found a lot of supporting info nor treatment.
C'mon now - the above has to be a relatively rare set of issues that must grab the interest of a physician or professional otherwise familiar with these diagnosis'.
Your input and considerations are greatly appreciated.

Hi MarkJones

I'm not clear want you are looking for, we have all these listed under the tab Disease->Related Diseases on this site, and Garrrods or Knuckle Pads too. Since you are in the US there is a wealth of information on this and other predisposing factors on the DF site http://dupuytrens.org/Whatotherconditionspredispose.html

A more generic investigation might just be investigating fibrosis disease or conditions http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrosis

Best wishes
