Dupuytren's contracture
Hi People who are diabetic seem to be a higher risk of Dupuytren's contracture, has anyone had symptoms which were successfully treated ?

Dupuytren’s contracture and Type 2
Had a very "interesting" chat with the diabetic lead at the GP. On my left hand I have what was once thought to be a trigger pinky and overnight the other week, my third finger went into the same position and is stuck. On the scheduled zoom call, I mentioned it, showed her my hand, stuck...

Hi Alan6240
i have Dupuytrens in both hands. I has been there for many years, long before I was diagnosed with Type 1. Mine has been slow in developing I had
needle fasciotomy in one hand and injections in the other one. The treatments have had some effect.
Hope you get some help from Musculoskeletal Sevices
Thanks. There is nothing wrong atm but obviously as time goes by I will need treatment. So I have been referred and have to contact them next to book an appt.
Hi, I had it on both bands, and had then operated on last year (privately). Both huge success so highly recommend the leap of faith.
Hi sufc22uk
Glad to hear the ops went well and you recovered.
My doctor has made a referral to the Musculoskeletal service at the hospital. And I need to contact them this coming week to make an appointment.

I was cleaning the carpets of an ex SAS soldier a few years ago, he'd had the same problem just operated on, having had the other hand done before, whilst back from the gulf when all the security operatives had to pull out for a while. his name was Hannigan, and thought of Irish ancestry. The consultant told him, i suspect it should be Hannagen and Nordic ancestry.

I have dupuytren’s contracture in both hands, as has my brother.
The bumps were staring to get painful. About 10-12 years ago I had radio therapy on them. This treatment wasn’t common in the uk, but it was in Germany.
It stopped the growth, and pain.
I believe there are other treatments now, for instance they can inject into the ligaments, sounds painful.

I have an indentation on one finger that appears to be early stage. Did have some pain, but it went away. I may post a photo and see what you all think. I haven’t seen a hand specialist yet. I figured I’d wait until I have symptoms. I’m not sure what else it could be.
