Hi

I have Dupuytren's disease (without contracture as yet) in the palm of my right hand, which is the only one I use because I have residual paralysis of my left arm hand due to RTA head injury. I have read on the forum of http://www.dupuytren-online.info/index.html that someone has had radiotherapy at Poole hospital, carried out by Dr Goode. Is this something that you could offer as treatment if I chose to go down that route. I'm finding it very hard to get any advice because Radiotherapy and Needle Aponevrotomy are just not seen as first stage treatments in the UK. Trying to avoid open surgery at a future date is what I'm trying to do.
