In addition to all the research links available on Dr. Charles Eaton's website (my personal Dupuytren crusader hero) there are also some links on the Dupuytren Foundation website. Now that year-end is coming up and folks are thinking about taxable donations, PLEASE consider the Dupuytren Foundation for US Residents and Intl Dupuytren Society (this website) for residents of other countries-- or do both! Dr. Eaton and his foundation support Dupuytren's research and don't just recommend a Xiaflex shot and rake in the money, HE is TRYING TO FIND A CURE through support of research.

If you're on this website you know how valuable the International Dupuytren Society is in giving you information and the opportunity to exchange information and ask questions of others with DD. Please think about how valuable this website has been to you and support them. Here's the DONATE link:

Downsize your jpg picture to less than 500 k. You can e.g. edit it with Microsoft Paint and reduce the picture size. You should have no problem if your picture has less than 500 k. Pictures from digital cameras often have 2-3 MB but but they are far too large for the PC, so you can downsize them without losing information.

Putzo- Share with me how you attached your pictures. My file is too large and I tried to zip it but it still would not allow me to attach. Thanks, Bentfinger (now straight!)

had na twice ...if done correctly with local...no pain....unless a nerve is nicked..

I certainly am hoping it is manageable!!! I was supposed to see Dr. Raskin in NYC two weeks ago, but Sandy intervened. My appt. is this Monday, and I'm hoping that I am a candidate for NA and don't need a more invasive procedure. Having had 2 xylaflex shots that failed miserably, I'm hoping for better results!! Will report back.
