    This is a strange conicidence if it is. Recently within the last 3 months my DD conditions in my hands got worse all of a sudden after being stable for about 4 years which just nodules so it appears,---one "cluster" nodule (or maybe its just one nodule) on my right hand became larger and very sore beneath my ring finger. Also that finger down into my palm has a very uncomfortable stretching feeling when I extend my palm. It definitely does not feel normal.

    The strange thing is that my thumbs near the base are hurting now too, but only when I move them a certain way, & both my feet ache under my arches when I walk, and have to walk a certain way to avoid the ache. (though the ache is not always there)

    Also all my fingers on both hands are a bit achy too at times, not always though. Also when I push back on each finger now on my right hand I feel that awful uncomfortable stretch down the whole length of each finger when I push back on each individually. Does that mean that I now have long cords running through all my fingers down into my palm, even though I don't feel or see any?

    I'm trying to figure all this out ---if there is any relation to all these things going on.....DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY INPUT ABOUT THIS?

    thanks

    NOTE: I am having R/T done this week (I have no contractures at this time)---- (do you think all this might clear up with R/T treatments?

    The Dupuytren's in my hands and feet came on simultaneously. It wouldn't be surprising if your arches are in early stages of Ledderhose.

    You asked, "do you think all this might clear up with R/T treatments". It may, or may not. I didn't have RT in my feey and it cleared up on its own. One of my hands went dormant for over a decade on its own. My other hand (little finger) contracted over 90 degrees in less than 18 months. Dupuytren's is very unpredictable and giving credit to a procedure is somewhat tentative. RT seems to give favorable results when compared with doing nothing. For me, the jury is still out with the RT that I had about 8 months ago and I am a little pessimistic at this time about the results. A person who had RT the same time as I did has not had favorable results. You just never know the outcome. I would still suggest that a person should have RT if they have the opportunity.
