Hi all, I just had the xiaflex done in my right hand and here I am typing! Had the Dup. in the ring finger with two bands in palm of my hand. This is the third day out since the injection, hand is swollen but I'm doing good. The procedure went like this......... It was done in the office, not the sugery center. No deadner at the site and it hurt like hell, three shots so my wife tells me. Hand was wraped in gauze and I went home and slept a few hours. The next day he started to streach out the tendon with me sitting on the table. I had to ask to be laid down because I feared I was ready to pass out.
(I didnt) He continued and it hurt twice as much as the injections! I was told to continue to streach it 2-3 times a day. And I have to wear a brace during the day on and off but mostly at night for about 3 weeks. I would recommend this to anyone considering sugery. Doug B.

Hi, no I have not had anything done at all. This is fairly new to me, I've had the D.C now for 3 yrs. Just found this site today and have been reading up on all of this. Makes me wonder about things! Up untill now I was able to do my job and enjoy life, I remain positive that wont change. I am a supervisor now so I dont do all the manual labor I once did. Now its mostly driving and writing and computer work. Thanks for the reply, Doug B.
