Hi everybody.
Found this site by accident, but now I'm registered.
I've had both hands operated on but my little finger on my right hand is going again, about 45 degrees already. Will I bother having another op or wait and see if I need a job lot if more fingers start to go ? lol
It's about 20 years since the right hand was done..the left was done about 3 years ago and wasn't as good a job tbh.
I've read Dupuytren only affects the hands, but I was going to ask of anyone has any effects on their inner lower arms...about a year now these can feel like the nerves are exposed if, say, i happen to brush them against something unawares. it's almost like someone is slicing a knife up the them...
maybe it's something else, but thought I'd ask anyway ?
As for the feet, how does that feel if you have the first symptoms...?

Re: Hi everybody.
Welcome jacko21
Thanks for sharing your experience, and knowledge.
Nodules, fibromas, associated with DD can occur elsewhere, although other than the palms, knuckles, penis, feet and shoulder it is not so common. But you should get a diagnosis, maybe it's a side effect of your DD affecting tendons or nerves?
Seek a physician who is up to date with more recent treatment options, other than surgery, maybe they can help again.
Edit to add: early signs of Ledderhose can often be felt by slight roughening, or hardening, or small balls, along the soles of the feet, along the plantar fasciitus, when felt or palpated with feet in a relaxed position. Maybe someone else will chip in about other physical or functional symptoms.
Best wishes
SB
