As my Aunt Loretta used to say, "Shoot a bean." This means I can't make up my mind about the best way to treat my two stuck fingers. The doc says I have a disease called Dupuytren. Middle joints of the middle and ring fingers of my dominant hand are stuck in a bent position. The choices for treatment are some kind of enzyme injection or surgery. Both sound simple and successful. Are there any tipping points to help me with this one? 1 week 1 day ago 8
I'm going to have the fingers on my hand that are permanently bent injected to release the tissue. The surgeon will straighten the finger after the injection and then I'm supposed to go to therapy for a splint and some exercises. Are these the kind of exercises I can just do on my own? I don't have insurance coverage for hand therapy. 1 week 1 day ago 8
I am a long-distant bicyclist with a few typical problems with neck pain and wrist/hand pain and numbness. I've been told I have a "double crush syndrome." Can you tell me a bit more about this and what to expect? 1 week 6 days ago 10
Have you ever heard of people who think they can predict the weather by their aches and pains? I'm a little skeptical but whenever I want to know if it's going to be a good day for fishing, I ask my Grandpa and he is always spot on. What do you think about this? 3 weeks 6 days ago 26
I am going to have surgery on my dominant (right) hand to replace a tendon that has worn through from my rheumatoid arthritis. It's the tendon on the back of my index finger. How important is it to see a hand surgeon (specialist) rather than just a regular surgeon? I can't seem to get a straight answer from my main doctor. 3 weeks 6 days ago 34
