"No, but you CAN develop knee, shin and or hip problems from Ledderhose disease, especially if you overpronate to compensate as you walk or run or whatever. I have both feet with 5-8 painful nodules, I've had this crap for 20+ years. Also, I've had 8 surgeries on my fingers, dupuytrens, and I must say, I have NOT found anyone in Texas who knows what to do.

I DO know this - do NOT NOT NOT NOT have surgery on your feet. HORROR stories and lost limbs from this, don't listen to some of these so-called 'experts'. I've seen firsthand the results of trying to remove the nodules off the bottom of the feet = poor guy, they came back BEFORE HIS FEET COULD HEAL !!!!

Treat yourself, or try and find a DR would will give you mild analgesics, such as vicoprofen to help you deal with the pain and soreness (only when needed). I have found that the most effective way at this point in time to deal with this.

Just my humble opinion as a daily hurter.

"Out of both hands and feet , my left foot ( larger nodule ) and leg is my 1st issue.

Do you have shin, knee or hip pain from this? I spend up to 12 hours a day on my feet and its to the point where my shin and knee wake me up at times.

Thanks Rick"
