after open hand surgery and NA, my Ins approved Ziaflex. Got the first of many injections today as i have very aggressive advanced DD, some finger on both hands at 90 degrees contacted. injection went fine, not very painful, but within 1 hour my hand was getting swollen and tight feeling. now, 4 hours later, my hand hurts. any movement of finger is extremely painful, like a knife is being inserted, no way they could do the manipulation if it feels like this tomorrow without me screaming (or punching?). anyone else have similar pain after Xiaflex injection? thanks

no pop today when doc tried to manipulate, hurt to much and he doesnt use any injection for pain. will try again in a week. seems most Xiaflex patients get a shot of lidocaine prior to manipulation. my doc has only done half a dozen people prior to me, sometimes i get the feelin i know more about this Xiaflex stuff then he does...thanks to this site and all your help
