Do I really have Dupuytren's? (2) | Dupuytren Disease | Forum for Dupuytren's and Ledderhose

Hi all-- I have been researching my problem and found this site-- it's fantastic. Here's my story: Male, 49, and I have carpal tunnel in both hands; I just had surgery on the right wrist and feel much better. However, 2 weeks prior to the surgery I developed a sudden inability to straighten my ring and middle fingers. Pinky appears to be OK-- can go at least 95% straight if not 100%. The surgeon was shocked when he saw me in pre-op b/c these symptoms aren't carpal-tunnel related. They won't see me until Friday so I have been researching and concluded that I might have Dupuytren's disease. My blood is negative for diabetes and for rheumatoid arthritis, so those are out. And I have a little bump (size of a pea) under the skin on my middle finger right where it meets the palm. I noticed this a few years ago. However, I can with some difficulty straighten my fingers (I used a C-clamp and a book);this takes several minutes and lasts about 10 minutes before I need to re-stretch. So here's my question: - Could this be anything besides Dupuytren's? Does anyone know?

I have been told by two doctors that it is dupuytren's. The surgeon says there is no connection between the surgery and this problem. I am not convinced of that.
