Good idea, Maddie! How about sending a Word file with text & pics to us and we will put it on the "personal experiences" page? You could mail the file to the address on http://www.dupuytren-online.info/imprint.html .

... Moderators: What do you think about the idea of adding a splinting section to the "personal experiences " portion of the website? Then a few of us that have used different types of splints could post pictures of them and say how well they worked for us. It would be easier for people to find the pics that way, rather than having to search the forum threads

Hi I've just had PNF or NA by Dr Meinel in Wurtzburg Germany. Dr Meinel was one of the first medicos in Germany to use PNF having learned the technique in Paris. (The French have used PNF for 50 odd years. ) Dr Meinel is also on the advisory board of the International Dupuytren Society.



Newman--
Where did you find Dr Meinel? I have been searching web sites and can't find him. Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Dr Meinel sees patients in Wurzburg of a Wednesday Morning and on the lst Wednesday of each month he is in Dossenheim near Heidelberg. He is in the practice with Prof. Dr STAUB who also speaks English Phone +496221 862069 www.neurochirurgie-dossenheim.de Dr Meinel has a private email meinel_a@t-online.de Should you be taking a blood thinner such as Asprin you should stop 10 days before the PNF. as a safety precaution. Wurzburg is a beautiful place to visit.

Stuart,

you might be mixing cancer treatment with RT for Dupuytren's. "Many people have numerous side effects" does not apply to treating Dupuytren's, also chemotherapy is not used for treating with Dupuytren's.

Negative effects are issues that sometimes happens due to treatment. They might happen with radiation therapy since the high doses of radiation accustomed to kill cancer cells may also damage healthy cells in the treatment area. Negative effects will vary for each individual. Many people have numerous side effects; others have almost no. Side effects might be more serious if you also receive chemotherapy before, during, or after your radiotherapy.

Stuart 22 - Dude i think you are on the wrong site and the wrong forum. This is for hand disease not cancer. And i hope none of us ever get cancer.
