Go For It!
Charles:
If you are gong for NA you have two jobs to do.
1) Relax. Taking a Valluim or something is advised if you're going to be nervous.
2) Tell Denkler immediately if you feel any tingling in your hand. *You* are the feedback loop that prevents nerve damage. Without you the procedure is blind. But with you on board the procedure is significantly *safer* than with Open Surgery. You make the difference.
One last thing. As you endure the stinging injection of the numbing agent, just think to yourself that you are thereby avoiding considerably *more* pain from the OS you are avoiding. It's no worse than having a dental filling.
You'll be fine.

serial casting + therapy etc
My results are a DISASTER
Serial casting worked as we were doing it- when we stopped, my fingers continued to bend. I've stopped therapy as I've had all Medicare will allow.
all three finger operated on are now back to where I was BEFORE OS!- I feel as I have gained nothing w/surgery except perhaps that maybe the progression of DC will slow down. Who knows.
I'm quite depressed about sll this and don't know what to do or expect next. All comments suggestinos welcome!
Thx Dr Denkler for your input also !

KAISER DOCTOR
Reply to Lee Phillips:
There have been two reports recently about Kaiser M.D.s who have done some (at least minimal) N.A. procedures.
One at San Francisco Kaiser is Dr. Gordon Engel and another in Sacramento is Dr. David Evans.
Neither seems locateable by non-Kaiser members. If you (presumably a member) are able to track one down I'm sure Forum posters would like any info. you may glean about their present N.A. experience, etc.
For the discusion on this subject SCROLL DOWN TO THE TOPIC FROM 6/9/06.
I hope this helps.
Susan

Clarification Needed
Nancy,
For sake of clarification I want to get this straight. Are you saying:
"Other NA practitioners who are CHS felt that NA would not work because of scar tissue form previous OS. Dinkier, however was able to help."
Question. Did he need to open up the scared aria before doing NA? Recently it was reported that Dr. Denkler did a combination of minor OS to get past scar tissue *before* doing the NA.
Is this what he did again?
This is significant because, if so, Dinkier is continuing to pushing the boundaries of what NA can do.

therapy
Glad to hear of your nice result. What sort of therapy are you doing and how much of a bend do you still have? Always like to hear the rest of everyone's story

Dr. Denkler
Randy - Yes I was turned down by Dr. Eaton and Dr. Badois because of my scar tissue. But Dr. Denkler did NA and just worked around the scar. I had puncture marks all along the side of the scar. The cord has been broken but I still have a bit of bending. Dr. Denkler was going to straighten it a bit more when I returned,but unfortunately the swelling was not receding and he had to work on flexibility at that time. I am hoping that therapy can help with the straightening.

Dr. Denkler
Diane - I have just started with a therapist and so far it has been mostly consultation. She has given me ultra sound and acupuncture to see if the swelling in the upper part of my finger will recede. I am also getting a molded splint made which I understand will help the straightening quite a bit. I went to Dr. Denkler because of your posting of his work with you.
