I was diagnosed with Dupuytren's a year ago. I was in pain and my hand was already close to unusable for grasping things. I don't know why I started using cod liver oil topically (I was using it to control occasional arthritis pain in my fingers) but I started massaging cod liver oil into my palm twice a day. (It couldn't hurt, righit?) It immediately helped with the pain. Over about 3 months, I recovered full use of my hand. I moved to using the oil once daily and then two to three times a week. Now I'm down to once or twice a month just because.... I hope this is helpful to lots of people and that someone will find out why it worked.

Did you actually have a measurable contracture, and if so, was it released?

I tried myself natural ways of treatment for 9 months (creme, massaging, homeopathic medicine) and then gave up on it because it was completely useless. Of course there might always be someting else and this might be the one and great remedy but don't be disappointed if you don't see much improvement.
