Hi, Two years ago I found a lump in the palm of my hand. It itches and can be painful. I went to see my doctor who sent me to a surgeon, who sent to another surgeon, who sent me to a nerologist, who sent me to an orthopedic Dr., who sent me back to my Dr., who sent me to another nerologist who told me it is a clump of fat that I most likely always had and just noticed it after 38yrs. This is a large lump that is slowly spreading across my palm. All of these Dr. did hundreds of tests.

Now I have a lump in the soul of my feet I can't see but can feel when I walk. I can't straighten my pinky at the pip joint or flaten it out when pushed against a table top. It is beginning to bend toward my palm and my ring finger is starting to do the same. There is locking of the pip joint in my pinky.

My question is how do Drs diagnose Dupuytren's Disease? What tests are involved?

Thanks for any help

The more I think about this the more I think I don't have Dupuytren's. Wouldn't at least one Dr have recognised it? After all I live in Norway. They would have seen it. I think I should keep looking.

Thanks to every one.
