Typing awkwardly with my non-dominant right hand. Left hand in a plaster cast with thumb and forefinger free. My little finger was at 90 degrees and ring finger at 45 degrees. Nodules cut out of palm but didn't need a skin graft. Surgeon said it went well and got my fingers straight. Had a general anaesthetic but day surgery only. I am coping at home alone and it is tricky!! But I made a lot of preparations beforehand and prefer to be alone. I have help readily available and transport whenever needed and of course I do need some help. I do not have much pain at all - very little in fact. My guess is that when the cast comes off next Wed. there will be more pain and more again as I get into hand therapy. Stitches out 12 days post-op. Would others who have had this surgery say the pain got worse in the way I predict?

Re: Had fasciectomy on Wednesday I came up with my own light-weight solution three years ago which I have found comfortable enough to wear pretty much every night even though I am not 100% sure that after RT it is still needed. I just don't want to take chances: https://www.dupuytren-online.info/Forum_...t-0_2023.html#5
