Ledderhose (feet)
Please consider contacting Dr. Lermusiaux in Paris at Lariboisiere Hospital regarding NA and cortisone injections for plantar fibromatosis. I am not current with the treatment; however, previous posts reported some improvement in foot nodules when treated by NA then followed by cortisone injections several days later. I have no personal experience (I do have beginning LD) but I would avoid surgery and seek an opinion from Dr. Lermusiaux before deciding on an option. Good luck.

surgery for Ledderhose?
Jay is yet another example that surgery can activate Dupuytren or Ledderhose ("and it came back with vengence"). That is one of the reasons why I would generally be reluctant with surgery. While for hands surgery might still provide satisfying results at least for the majority of cases, for Ledderhose surgery seems to be more critical. Feet have to carry weight and it is more difficult and inconvenient to avoid using them in the recovery period after surgery. Also on case of blood flow problems feet are more critical than hands.

LD
I also would like to hear from those with DIRECT experience of NA treatment for LD. We know that surgery is to be avoided, but it would be good to hear from somebody who has had NA on the feet - successful or otherwise.

Lederhose - NA
Hard to see how NA could help Lederhose (I have both). NA weakens a cord allowing it to be snapped - that's all. It doesn't remove any tissue. With LD, there's no cord - no contracting band - just unwanted tissue that needs to be removed.
There's a Lederhose forum on Yahoo where the moderator has been posting about his recent experience with 'cryosurgical' treatment that sounds really promising. Basically the tissue and involved nerves are damaged, in a controlled way, by extreme cold so the condition is no longer painful.

Lederhose - NA

I have an appointment with Dr Lermusiaux late December and he is to perform NA on my foot. I know of others who have had successful NA on their feet - performed by Dr Lermusiaux. I will report on my experience and outcomes.

Thanks Graeme I look forward to hearing about it. Lermusiaux has earned a lot of respect so I'm sure whatever he does will make sense.

anybody else have these symptoms?
Hi Mon, There are no french trained NA practitioners in the UK. However, there are 3 known practitioners in the UK, there are probably more but they are not yet admitting to it as their colleagues think NA is a load of rubbish. Mr L C Bainbridge has been doing NA for many years.
email chris@hand-surgery.co.uk
His web page is www.hand-surgery.co.uk
Hope this helps, Marjorie
