Thanks to all in the forum. It's been helpful beyond words!

Perhaps what we all would like to know is,"If I were a doctor who could know and understand all this medical information and speculation, what would I do??"...
so, I'm asking: any doctors with experience to share?

Thanks again to all.

paste the whole thing into your browser, the repeated dupuytrenscenter.com is supposed to be there.


He's got it, he's had it treated with NA twice (one recurrance), and now he's doing it too. :)

to add more to the question with which I opened this topic, here's an example, or a "for instance" of what might be helpful:
a response might be that clinical evidence makes no connection at this stage between, say, stretching and the timing of contracture, but (as a doctor with Dupruytren's)
I realized it wouldn't hurt to try...and this is what I've observed....

I hope my way of presenting the topic doesn't bother anyone...

Thanks for the helpful responses!!
