Hello, I have been suffering from Dupuytren contracture for the last 7 years. First it was my small left hand finger which became gradually bent at a 90 degree angle and could not longer be retracted. Then I had the same thing started happening on my right hand ring finger.
There are only two ways of dealing with this issue, and no alternative soft medicine such as Accupuncture will fix the problem . one way is a treatement involving poking with a needle to free up the nodules that lodge onto your tendons , the other alternative is surgery. I had the latter done, which resulted in my fingers being able to work again, although my pinky on my left hand will not bend properly any more at the first joint, hence making it a bit awkwared to play lute, or guitar, etc, but its a lot better than not being able to open up the finger at all. get a good plastic surgeon and have it done, I have met with people who the needle technique done on them, but the Dupuytren came back a few years later. In Dupuytren contracture, you will feel lumps inside your palm or on the fingers that press against your tendons, its very uncomfortable and since you can no longer relax the affected fingers..
