what exercises are beneficial?
I'm newly diagnosed with dup's. My doc says mild. I exercise with a medical ball, and finger stretches hard on a flat surface. Anymore suggestions would be welcome. Thanks. davejbaird@msn.com

lifestyle
Dear David,
Welcome.
There have been no particular excercises for the fingers that have been listed by forum participants that have helped. Read through the forum for info on DC and treatment types then choose one that you are comfortable with. There is a lot of info. Take your time then feel free to ask any questions.
Having said that, healthy lifestyle is always a help when addressing any health issue.
Recently I have been researching about the incidence of high cholesterol/triglycerides as they relate to DC/peyronies/ledderhose/frozen shoulder. It seems that all four types of patients may have high c&t. We all know that this high c&t can affect your entire body, so, have you been tested? If not consider it then talk to your doctor about appropriate changes.
I take it from the point of view that every little bit helps.

cholesterol
I have very low cholesterol and have aggressive DC, with a family history of low cholesterol. No conclusions, but why do you think there is one?
By the way: are you Francis?

cholesterol
William,
I said they *may* have high cholesterol. Googling the a particular ailment with the words 'cholesterol and triglycerides' brings up some interesting info.
ie: Dupytren's contracture cholesterol and triglycerides vs Peyronies cholesterol and triglycerides
Playing with the word order also produces a different result ie: 'cholesterol and triglycerides dupuytren's contracture'.
No. I am not Francis, nobody is. I came on board about the time there was trouble with someone abusing that nickname so I stayed behind the scenes. Since the wind has stopped I've come forward.
Thanks for posting about your levels though, the more who do the better.
