sorry -- small correction --

My adhesive capsulitis was active from Fall 1997 through Spring 1999 (not 1987).

Hope you can help!

I’m new to the Dupuytren's Forum, but not to Dupuytren's that showed up about 10 years ago. Had surgery on my left hand 2 years ago but Dupuytren's is now back in the L hand worse than ever. So I know from experience surgery is only a stopgap.

I know about the French Needle so I am very interested in info about non-surgical cures. Question:

1) Are there any legit non-surgical cures? Who and where?
2) Is the SUNY Stony Brook cure near going public? Any info on the status?
3) Are there any doctors (or anyone else) doing injections? Who and where?

Please help with any info you have. I don’t want any more surgery!

Thanks Very Much!

I have recently been diagnosed with DC.

I am a 47 year old female and have had a right frozen shoulder for 1 year. As if that wasn't enough I now have DC in my right hand. I consume very little alcohol. No diabetes, or thyroid problems. However, I did take very large quantities of Vit C at the start of the frozen shoulder problems as I read that it could halt the disease. I had gall bladder surgery for cholecystitis due to cholesterol.

I type and rode horses (before my frozen shoulders). My doctor didn't think there was a link with DC and Adhesive Capsulitis.

Thanks for the forum.
