bstenman:
With my Dupuytren's squeezing aggrevates the symptoms and provides no benefit as I already have above average hand strength. Suspect that the squeezing exercise is for recovery after a fasciectomy and is being mistakenly applied to your situation.

Dr. Denkler who performed a NA procedure on my hands said that he believed that the reason there is seldom a contracture problem with Ledderhose's disease is the continual stretching that takes place as people walk.

Stretching is painful initially but no pain no gain seems to often be the case with any structural problems that need to be corrected. The pain for me is temporary as it stops as soon as I stop the stretching.
Hi bstenman,

Pardon my confusion but I didn't understand whether you were for or against the putty being used before contracture and before surgery?
