Shaniqua, how do you know that posters on this forum are paid by Dr. Eaton? Do you have any proof of this whatsoever? Since all will know you don't, any and all claims you make will be known as fantasy or a lie.

Give up, a new and better day has come for DC sufferers.

Shaniqua,

Have a look at the discussions abut NA on these other sites. If you report back that they are all paid off by the <<<World Wide NA Conspiracy For The Damage of American Hands>>, your paranoia will be apparent to all. Have a look Shaniqua:

"Needle aponeurotomy is a form of fasciotomy that is done as an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia. While it has been done for several years in France, it is just being introduced in the United States."

"Sometimes the surgeon can release the scarred tissue by carefully cutting it with a needle. This procedure is referred to as a Needle Aponeurotomy."

"There are now some surgeons in the United States that are performing a French technique called Needle Aponeurotomy, also called 'Needle Fasciotomy', in place of traditional surgery. Dr. Charles Eaton of Jupiter, Florida has performed over 800 of these procedures....."

"Techniques have been tested to minimize the wounds created by surgery, such reducing pain and side effects. The drawback is typically that the re-occurrence rate is higher. Such techniques are e.g. segmental aponeurectomy (cf. the thesis of Moermans cited below) or needle aponeurotomy."

Excellent info for all of us: http://www.dupuytren-online.info/10701.html?*session*id*key*=*session*id*val*

Yep do as sheq says go pay way more for a surgery that doesn't cure the problemn any more than NA does just fill the pockets of the DRs that don't want you to have NA because it costs a fraction and does the same hey even keeps the PT in work to so toss some more cash there way.
Surgery should be a last resort NA gives you the chance to choose a diffrent avenue does it really matter what the name of the DR is. Mine was done by DR PESS when are you going to blast him. Good health care is about options NA is just another we have. For some it will work others i'm sure it won't as with conventional surgery. Pull your head out of your ass and smell the roses.

Megan I would love to see your pics. I am a 34 year old male with dups in left little finger and right ring finger. Saw Dr. Pess. He released the right hand. Had not to much luck with the pinky. It's still at 90 degress. I agree that a lot of the people on this message board super promote NA. I however have it so bad in my pinky that I cant see it getting fixed with NA. Gonna try and find a surgeon in LA. I don't have insurance so i need to figure something out. Get at me with the pics. Thanks again.
