I developed Dupuytrens a month after receiving my second dose. At first, I thought it was tendonitis, but I thought it was strange to have non-sagittal tendonitis. I finally saw a doctor after it didn't go away for 8 months, and that's how I found out I have Dupuytrens. My orthopedist said that there's nothing I can do for it. He also did not report it as a side effect of the vaccine.

i know everyone says that it isn't painful, but it can be. The swelling wanes and returns, especially if I go to the gym and don't use workout gloves.

I’ve had significant Dupuytren’s my right hand for about 12 years and only slight amount on my left hand. But about six months ago I discovered a large nodule had appeared on the palm of my left hand. I attributed that to using my left hand for the computer mouse for way more time during the pandemic that I would normally have been. And also using my iPhone way more time. However, in the last month I was examined and they found nodules on the bottom of my feet. I don’t know how long they’ve been there. But during the pandemic I developed an increase in the pain in my feet that I hadn’t had before. I attributed that to my neuropathy. But it’s possible that the nodules aggravated the neuropathy, as the nodules are painful to push on, so I assume they are pressing on nerves.

So you have given me pause to think about whether the vaccines caused it. Or did the change of our normal day activities during the pandemic cause it? A lot of people had flareups of all sorts of diseases during the pandemic, so it’s hard to sort out what caused what.A simple increase in stress can cause significant changes in the immune system, especially if it’s prolong. However just in case, I don’t think I’m gonna be getting any more booster shots. Unless my job requires it again.

After first dose of Pfizer I had a lump on my right hand aftwr just one week. After my second dose I had a lump on my left hand and they have both have gradually gotten bigger.

You had to have been vaccinated for certain diseases before entering public schools, like all children are/were required to do, so saying that you’ve never had a vaccine in you life is probably not true.
The link between any number of things and the covid vaccine may come up in the future. I have had 3 boosters but have also gotten radiation therapy for my hand which has helped it from progressing further (so far)
