Hi,

I have a hand surgeons and an oncologist appoitment next week.

I am at the beginning of this disease but unfortunatly I feel that I have the agressive version. I was daignosed with Ledderhose in Feb. and a bad session of acupunture with needles in my hand seemed to have triggered DD 3 weeks ago. I have been feeling extremely anxious reading and researching about this disease.

The pain is constant, gets worse when I use my hands and drive.
Nodules are forming in both hands but I also have pain in whole my hands and each fingers. Pain between the thumb and index finger, pain at the base of the thumb, in the palms, under the index and middle finger and nodules below ring and little finger. Sometimes I even get pain in my wrists.

With your experience, having pain in all those areas, do you think it means that I will have all fingers involved with the risk of all of them contracted?

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your response. I have had SFN for 6 years, I am 100% this pain is not due to SFN. Moving my fingers is painful, holding something is painful, the nodules are painful.

I sent a picture of my hand to Dr. Pess in NJ who confirmed the nodule. I am seeing Drs. in person next week.
The acupuncture was 3 weeks ago, I have tried advil, voltaren, nothing works. Verapamil gives me a slight relief.
The fact that I have Ledderhose as well makes it highly likely to develop DD. I know that many people don't have pain early on but I am on the yourger side, which is often linked to pain when the disease is agressive.
What I would like to know if wether the disease will affect all my fingers if I have pain in all my fingers...
