Wolfgang:

Thanks.

I had no idea that there was such a section on the Website.

That's too bad, I guess you missed the best part of our web site! But seriously, I guess you are right: we need to include a link back to the home page of our web site. For the time being we can do that only in a post but the next sw release will also offer the possibility for more links from the forum menu.

Thanks
Wolfgang

Here's a suggestion:

How about adding a link from the discussion area to "http://www.dupuytren-online.info/IPP_and_others.html";?

If there is a link like that, I've somehow missed it.

Thus, I never realized that there was more to the Website than just the Discussion Forum.

Yes, I too get pain in the wrist and lower arm but only when I strain to make a fist. This is the only pain I ever get, apart from when I put on the hand splint and force the bent little finger straight again. I'm at 11 weeks, (sounds like a pregnancy term) and my hand is still pretty stiff and swollen. Massage and exercise must be helping but we are definitely in for the long haul.

I think we have all the same things Dave, I,m 11 weeks also. Hope it dosen't go beyond 6 months. It improves very slightly each week but as you say we're in for the long haul.

The depressing thing about reading this thread is that if this was a one-off and cured the problem then it might be an easier read. The fact that people have to probably go through this more than once with a varying array of after effects and reoccurrance makes it a difficult read for those of us without contracture yet. However, I appreciate the need for the thread for those who are post-op

Hi Frank, maybe you are overdoing the physio? I would let my hand recover, soak it twice a day in warm water to relax it, and do exercises just to keep blood flowing and avoid tendons to stick to surrounding tissue. Just a little exercise and maybe some light massaging. But I feel with you: I had to promise my hands that they won't have surgery again, otherwise they would have refused further service ...
