What Next??? Help!!
I'm a 59 yr old male with dupuytrens on both hands and ledderhose on both feet.
I have had surgery on one foot , NA on two fingers, radiation on both hands and both feet.
The foot surgery worked for a while (maybe 3 yrs). NA didn't really do much good. I also tryed NAC for about a year to no avail.
Radiation DID positively shrink the nodules on both palms and feet.
I still have two enlarged and very painful PIP joints on the pinky and middle finger. And now nodules are coming up between the thumb and forefinger.
I'm at a loss as to what to do. Should I try for more radiation in this area? (this is what I'm tempted to do) Should I wait for another treatment to be approved?
Any suggestions?
