Well my hand has now developed 2 new nodules by the thumb area, so far there is no drawing up involved. Where the surgery was done the small bit of nodules that were left are pulling more--I sure wish you could be done with all this but that is just not the nature of the disease. I have also had an MRI done on my feet which I will post about on the Ledderhose portion, seems as if I have nodules starting in the ball of my right foot and still can only walk for a short time each day, and have pain most days! Discouraging but I'm not giving up!
