Australia Calling.Hi I am touching base re my experience at Alfred Krupp Hospital .I have M.D. in both hands and have Ledderhose in the left arch .(nodule and a band.) I visited Prof. Seegenschmidt who by the way was a great guy having devoted his life to getting on top of this disease. After consulting with the prof. and another surgeon I decided to have Radiotherapy.The prof identified that my right foot was also under way.
I received treatment on five consecutive days for 3 minutes at 3G.on both feet. I wear authodics in my shoes and do a bit of cycling .The prof. recommended I continued with this practice to reduce immediate pressure on the nodule. He was an advocate of using a creme containing urea or even Vasoline to keep the skin soft. We did a lot of walking in Germany after the treatment and I had no problems. I stayed in a hotel walking distance from the hospital and the manager ,a 40yr had just had surgery on both feet to remove nodules . He was not even aware that radiotherapy was an option .We are all in the same boat no matter where we live ,We generally finish up in the hands of specialist who was recommended by another specialist . I would like to give thanks to the Dupuytren Society for the information on its web site. I will return for another session of treatment in December. I will keep in touch from .down under.
