i went to Dr chateau in boulogne yesterday. i had treatment for one hand and my friend who is 74 (i am 44) had both hands done (his is...was much worse). dr chateau said he trained with the guy himself (dupuytren) for two years then set up clinics in paris and later boulogne sur mer. the treatment took about fifteen minutes and 24 hours later i can bend back my fingers without any discomfort. the palm of my hand is a bit bruised...but that's it. he charged 150 euros for my hand and 350 for my friend. when i asked him about the possibility of it coming back he said that if it did you could just come back and have more treatment. if anyone wants to ask me anything, feel free to get in touch.

My sincere apologies, julian, I meant no offense. This is just a message board, sometimes true meaning behind the fonts can be misconstrued. I was feeling frisky on a sunny Saturday morning, kidding around - I am actually quite shocked to come back and read your hostile words.

Have a great day!

well given that you have all imbued what i wrote with your own overreaction then it's hardly worth discussing. i just don't appreciate cyber humiliation when it is not requested....sorry.
and dodo....thanks....but i'm not the marrying kind so it is unlikely any offspring will have to be subjected to my particular kind of spleen-venting (unless of course they provoke me by posting messages with lots of exclamation marks).
and you have a great day too larry. xx

steve, will you please keep OUT of my message forum....go find your own. and yes, it probably was your fault....you forgot to let the dog out and i had to clear up its mess.
