I~sq~ve updated my web site
For those who might be interested, I have added hypothyroidism as another group of individuals who might be at risk for developing DC. The medical community is
beginning to question the so called "normal" range for thyroid hormones (T3 & T4), and they are beginning to think that the low end of the so-called "normal" range should actually be reclassified as being being too low. Low levels of thyroid hormone can result in hypoglycemic conditions, as well as a whole list of other conditions.

another clue?
Someone posted a few days ago I think, a comment attributed to a surgeon to the effect that people with short 5th fingers inevitably get Dupuytren's.
I was surprised because I have a very short 5th finger, and I have Dupuytren's.
If confirmed, this could point to an identifiable genetic link.

I also developed hypothroidism four years ago and am on Synthroid. My ledderhose disease started when I was 15, 26 years ago, and my DC started when I was about 25, about 16 years ago. I have had numerous operations on both feet and hands, and will probably continue to do so until a procedure, possibly NA, becomes readily available at a location that is somewhat close to where I live.

DP. Non-surgical treatment.....?
A question: what progress, if any, is being made in non-surgical treatment of DP? What is known about possible side-effects of (ie) chemical therapy ? Thanks. David Byron.

Pesky Vikings
Phyllis,
In their day, those Pesky Vikings really got around. Greenland. The Americas. Just being Northern European is all it takes.
Get a second opinion. Try http://www.handcenter.org/newfile16.htm

curling fingers
Phyllis,
Get a second opinion. Either you misunderstood or your doctor has zero experience with Dupuytren's.

NA vs. Surgery
For heavens sake, have your husband get a second opinion. And, also check out Dr.Eaton's site. Don't let a doctor cut on his hand until he does his research on NA.
