Gary, Where can we see these "Test after test showing the correlation of alcohol and DC" I am still to be convinced.

I recently read that Cherries have an enzyme in them that reduce the effects of alcohol on the body. Perhaps increasing cherries in your diet (or by taking a supplement) could help Dupuytrens. Cant hurt to try!

Well, you're right too. Both conditions (gout and DC) have been linked to alcohol. So if you have dupuytrens as a result from alcohol, try eating cherries. Ita cant hurt, can it?

Several months ago I posted several questions about Dupuytren's. I had just been diagnosed with the disease in both hands and was completely unfamiliar with it. I recently had surgery on my left hand and it was a comlete success. Ring and middle finger were contracted over 30% and are now back to better than ever. Therapy is going really well.
I wish to thank Marjorie & Allen for their information and support. Through continued emails I was prepared for what might occur with surgery and advised of a less invasive treatment that is now in the trial stage. Hopefully, if I need treatment for my right hand the new procedure will be available by then. Thanks again Marjorie & Allen.

Just turned 44. Noticed lesions growing between ring and pinkies on both hands about 5 years ago. The right hand has stayed the same...the first one...while the left hand now has a double growing from the pinkie to the ring.
Have no real pain, but do experience a numbness or "pins and needles" slightly in bad hand from time to time. Also got two I found in left foot bootom recently. They don't hurt but occasionally make their presences known.
Family history of lipoma tumuors (fat, harmless, esthetically unpleasant.) That's what me and quack doctor thought DP's were. He tried slicing one out and gave up in 45 minutes. Think I'll finally quit drinking.
