#1. If a physician (or someone else) tells you that you need to let it get worse before treatment, RUN don't walk. The sooner you are treated, the better your outcome. If you wait too long, your fingers and knuckles only know to curve over and then after your treatment, you need to "train" them to go back to straight. #2. Do not use Glucosamine. It hasn't been proven, but Dr. Kline believes that it causes the Dupuytren's to accelerate, since it is building more cartilage around the joints, which you don't want if you have Dupuytren's. #3. Investigate every treatment available before making a decision on what is right for you. I've never seen anyone in this forum, who has anything personal to gain, in the decision you make. We are just people who have already been down this road and want to help anyone who is just starting this journey. Please feel free to ask any question you have.

Easy to do that on a forum. Wolfgang was leading you in the right direction. Go on http://www.dupuytren-online.info/NA_list_North_America.html and you will get the full list. Try using some evening primrose oil to gently massage you hands. The oil will warm with the heat of your hands and does give some relief from pain. It also helps to soak your hands in warm water for a few minutes. Good luck , Marjorie
