have DC "MCP" type at stage 0, on my ring finger of the left hand.

I want my doctor to prescribe me a splint or brace to wear during sleep time to slow the progression as much as possible.

Which information's should I provide him about the characteristics of the splint and type? (length, all the fingers right, material, etc)

Is there any place I can get more information about splint and brace either a web site, foundation or contact that I can get some help with this?

Thanks to everybody,

Richard

A physical therapist has catalogs and can order you a "joint jack". Its a small torture device that wraps velcro around your finger to attach it to an aluminium bar. You then use a screw to increas pressure until you pass out. I have found that sleeping with body pressure on my hand( put your hand flat under your head or chest) works a bit also. Finger is still curved but need help strething scar tissue one year after sugery. The joint jack is a good tool, not very expensive, get one. Dont get your hopes up, if youve got dupe you may not be able to stop it.
