ledderhose (plantar fasciatis), pyronies, dupuytrens
I'm so glad to have found this Forum! Has anyone here also developed related lumps in other extremities -- i.e., feet and penis? Dupuytrens is similar to ledderhose (plantar fasciatis) in the foot and pyronies in the penis. I am afflicted in both hands and both feet, many lumps in multiple locations on all four limbs (otherwise healthy). I've had three surgeries on my right foot, am simply trying to ignore all the other lumps, although it's getting increasingly difficult. Does anyone have experience with applying the nonsurgical procedures discussed on this board to feet?

Plantarfibromatosis
I am a 40 year old male who has had these bumps since I was 15. I am looking for some alternate cure or procedure other than removing the muscle from my arch and replacing it with a muscle from my calf(that was one doctors suggestion) ouch. Is there any kind of laser treatment or xray to shrink these bumps? any information you can send is greatly appreciated.

bottom of feet
To Tim, Please research carefully before you have any surgery...I have had bumps that go up and down on both feet for over 45 years and not one surgeon would operate...at least they were more conservative than the hand surgeons...the bumps never really bothered me. Several orthopedic surgeons said they never touch the bottom of the feet because the results are never good...hope that I've been helpful to you..

Ledderhose~sq~s & orthotics
I have DC in left hand & Ledderhose's (Plantar Fibromatosis) in left foot, with early signs in right foot. My orthopedic surgeon would only operate on the foot as a last course of action - sent me to a Podiatrist who fitted orthotics. The nodules are still there, but at least I can walk with less pain than before. Apparently, if your foot is not aligned properly that puts extra strain on the Plantar Fascia which exascerbates the Fribromatosis. The Orthotics correct the alignment and also have some allowance for the nodules to ease the direct pressure. I needed prescription orthotics though, not the drug store variety.

Plantar Fibromatosis
Hello, I have had NA on my right hand to correct a 30 degree contracture. I also have early involvement of my left foot. That is sore and fels like a "bunched" sock pressing on my sole. I have no Pyronies' signs/symptoms. My personal approach is to "monitor" the hand for recurrence, and monitor the foot for deteriorating circumtances (pain, limitation.) Hand problem: I will return to an NA practioner. Foot: I will consult with Dr. Lermusiaux or a staff member affiliated with L'Hopital Lariboisiere. Dr. Lermusiaux developed NA and has reported some success reducing foot nodules and asociated pain using cortisone injections and NA. Fortunately, I had succesful hand NA, and have minimal foot symptoms. When the decision point emerges, I will have a consult with Dr. Lermusiaux or an associate (the List) about reducing nodule(s) by NA and Cortisone injections. If Collagenase becomes available I might reconsider my appraoch depending on the data. Under any circumstancs, I would be VERY hesitant to have conventional open foot surgery to remove "involved tissue." That is a personal opinion. In general, surgical approaches have produced mixed results to date regarding both hands and feet. It is not the surgeon, it is the DNA. Pyronies is a separate and similar discussion. I have no input other than a "guess" that Collagenase may help; genome research may provide a "cure." Good luck; inform yourself and make choices best for your situation. Visit the Pyronies forum. Go slow with surgical intervention (get other opinions.)

hi
Please keep us posted on your progress. My circumstances are similar to yours--DP to be treated by NA late this month and early nodules in foot that are worrisome because I am a runner. I am eager to hear what the prognosis is with your feet nodules.
