    I've continued reading this forum, thanks everyone for your contributions, it is really helpful.

    I have read that RT is best in the early stages for Ledderhose. I'm in the early stages, only grape sized but growing, was pea sized in the summer.

    I think I might zap the thing, has anyone had this done in the UK or will I be going for a little trip over to Germany?

    Thanks,
    Jings

    Only very recent and few experiences in the UK

    Private charges for doctor's fee are around 150 BP
    and treatment for each extremity runs between 1.500 to 3.000 BP (e.g. Dr. Shaffer)

    Compared to Germany:

    Experience over 20 years ...
    Welltrained physicians, technicians, routine procedures ...
    Total fee per one extremity including all physician's fee per extremity is about 1.000 Euro

    Most experienced with good publications:
    Prof. Seegenschmiedt, Hamburg; Dr. Heyd, Offenbach; Dr. Ott, Erlangen

    Don't hesitate and get it early treated, Larry
