Hi all. I'm a long time Dupuytren's sufferer and just discovered this forum. I have it in 2 fingers on both hands and recently it started developing in my left thumb. It is progressing rapidly and becoming quite a problem. I have had one Doctor tell me it's very rare to get it in the thumb and a different Doctor told me it's common. I wonder how many on the forum have problems with the thumb.

Having had four separate surgeries between 2006 and 2018 I can tell you that both thumbs were heavily involved on two occasions. The Rt thumb has been drawing in toward the pinky again for two years now along with some pronounced nodules along the palm edge leading down from the pinky PIP joint. The thumb is itchy and painful at times when working with the tools. Attempting to straighten and extend the thumb produces a snapping motion resembling a trigger finger. At 69 tears of age these old hands are beginning to wake up stiff and achy.
