@ Dougal.
Thank you for taking the trouble to provide the link. No hope for me to have treatment then in my part of the world.
I come into the category of having come from Northern Europe but many generations ago. I take issue with
the description of Dupuyren's progress as being slow because it took only 2/3 months for my ring and little fingers
to become quite seriously affected although not locked into permanent position. The condition, whilst not
seriously painful it is very uncomfortable as the joint gives way to allow the fingers to straighten. Furthermore,
the strength of the grip appears to have lessened and I have to be careful when carrying a mug of tea for example.
Finally, the right hand is now also showing signs of tightening, especially at night.
Once more, my gratitude,
Rob
