Hi Linda, I have seen Dr Eatons web sight and will keep him in mind,thankyou.. I have found a Dr in the UK name of Goode,in Dorset who is supposed to be performing NA and radiation on patients. I have passed this information on to my GP and am waiting to hear, hopefully I will be able to get some help from him, as my Dupuytrens is very painful. I am a dental nurse and work 4 handed dentistry,in the last 2 weeks,although I have no constructure,and the growth is mostly effecting my thumbs,the pain and stiffness is making my work very difficult now,I also experience pain in my wrists and arms,weakness too, normal pain killers do not touch this,and I'm reluctant to go down the drug route till I've spoken to some Dr, who knows what their talking about. I will let the forum know,I'm so in the dark,waiting and worried as are everyone as far as I can see.

For those who have the pain running on the outside of your leg/thigh to your knee, try Cymbalta. I was in an accident and have suffered for several years with "restless leg syndrome" but it was the pain I initially described especially when I laid down at night or had to stand in a line for too long. My doctor moved and I had to find a new doctor. This doctor put my on Cymbalta which helped my leg almost immediately. I found it too "calming" to take during the day and would take in the early evening. WOW, a good night's sleep. Hopefully this will help others. I also suffer from Plantar Fasciitis with an x ray showing a large hook like heel spur which made walking very painful. Since Cymbalta, I am now barefoot again.
