Wavey,
DC is a lot better than being uninsured and having heart problems, cancer, diabetes and just about anything else. Get some insurance or pay about 2-4,000 dollars for surgery. Or go to Europe for NA.

Just returned from Italy and France and had Dr. Viani, in Nice France, perform an NA on my left ring finger. It went from a 4 to a 2 in 30 minutes. He said that if I returned in 7 days for a second procedure, he could make it a 1. The cost $150 EUROS. This was for an hour of his time and his daughters (an MD who translated). Drs. Viani (both of them) are very pleasant and know what they are doing. The only pain, the first needle stick. When the Novacaine wore off, there was no pain. And the Cote du Azur is not a bad place to visit.

Dr. Viani informs me that the number of procedures needed are approximately the same as the DC number. I can type 60 words a minute now and I am going to wait to see if I get worse or a new treatment surfaces. I am fine now. The next time I will schedule more time. Dr. Viani also pointed out that I had it on both feet, but it is not a problem.

My fathers family was 100% Norweg1an, and one of my aunts and one of my uncles has the condition. I am the only nephew that has it so far, but I am the second oldest. Right now my plight seems to be to have to go to France when the condition becomes to bad. This agravates another health condition, being overweight.

Why not NA in Mexico? There must be Dr.s there who would do it. Has anyone checked Mexico for NAs?

Wayne,
Let me get this correct. Your doctor said that he could take care of Ledderhose Disease in 5 minutes with NA? Sounds great, never heard of such success.

Sean,

Dr. Viani inspected my feet when he sucessfully did NA on my right ring finger, he made a 2 out of a 4 in 30 minutes, no pain. He said that I had DC on the tendons of both feet, and if it bothered me it was a 5 minute procedure to correct.

However, I don't believe that your inquiry is sincere from your previous postings. But this might help other sufferers of DC.
