Good Day, everyone! I am new here, so Here's my Dupuytren's background...,
I am 65 years old, left handed Dupuytrens of the ring finger. Started showing up about 6-7 years ago. I am a Certified Orthotic and Prosthetic Technician, and I teach O and P at a local college. I am intimately involved in, and want to make some progress with the Dupuytrens Disorder. A professor I know also has the disease, but was more progressed. He had surgery on his hand, and the result was miserable. I don't know wether the result was due to the disorder, or a poor surgery.

I have a question... How many people here have played guitar, or still do? I am looking for a cause and effect relationship? The traumatic causation link.

Hi Leona

First I hope you find the information you need on or from our website, to help you choose your own path for treatment.

I don't play guitar but do play piano. In fact DD started within a year of me starting piano, but that may be just coincidence. We get quite a few, self-selected, reports on here from people with DD who are wondering about a link to their specific activity, often rowing, climbing, weight-lifting, guitar, etc . There are papers that suggest a link between trauma and DD.

Best wishes SB
