I have just been diagnosed with DC. The main lesion seems to be on the lowest section of my pinky finger, which is contracting, and with two tiny nodules in my palm. I thought the main locus would have been the palm. Is this unusual? Any experiences with this? By the way, both of my siblings have this disease. Don USA Maryland

Hi Don, I'm so glad you found this forum.

Please ask ANY questions that you might have. My experience is that no one on this forum has a separate agenda. Only personal experiences that they are willing to share.

My husband's primary care doctor referred him to a hand specialist. The specialist recommended surgery and didn't mention any alternatives.

I found this forum and researched all the treatments. My husband had the NA treatment, and couldn't be happier. He isn't one for doctors, so I was surprised when he agreed to the treatment. He says that if it gets to the point again where he can't put on a glove, or shake hands, that he won't hesitate to have the NA performed again. At this point he is starting to get the lumps in his palm. We are going to check to see if anyone in Denver will give him the injections into the lumps.

You are lucky to find the site when you did. Sandie
