Ihave both and have wondered if their contacted. I'm going to France in March to get my handdone with needle aponevrotomy. Any information on peyronies and the needle aponevrotomy please let me hear from you.

Please keep me posted on your trip to France. From what I read there is a relationship
between the two maladies,as dupuytrens can affect all extremities including the feet. Surgery on some sounds like medieval torture. I found references
to orallly taking vitamine e three times a day, vitamine e cream, collagenase injections
and more. Please keep me abreast. I am trying to organize a group interested to more
efficiently do research.

It's been well known by my doctors that there is a relationship between Dupuytrens and peyronies. It is also related to plantar fibroma (dupuytrens of the foot) and Garrod's nodes (knuckle pads). I've had the dupuytrens syndrome in all five documented places. The peyronies subsided to only a mild plaque and curvature, but the Feet and hands are growing rapidly. I had surgury on one foot, but it returned in the adjacent areas. Knuckle pads hurt especially when I bang them or knock on a door.
Again, as far as my research has taken me, they are all related. Collagenase sounds too good to be true if and when it becomes available. Soon I hope.

I've posted several times. You have to wade through the messages and read. I had the operation in August, I cannot tell you that it was successful. Try everything else first. Read the posts. If you have no alternative then do the operation. I know this may not be helpful but the operation is no guarantee of success.

I have been treated for my peyronies disease and now it's ok.

it's the french treatment.

For more information, i think you can send an email to peyronie@dupuytren.org. I am not sure of the adress but you can try.

Send a reply in this forum if the email is ok
