Ever hear of Dupuytrens disease?
Me neither.
Apparently I've got it and the doc wants to cut it out.

It's a new one to me. I looked it up. Sounds inconvenient, to say the least.
Mike, you do look for the silver lining, don't you?

Don't recall the name, but my grandfather had it in his hammer hand from being a carpenter. They had to cut to loosen it up.

My fingers not bent yet but it is painful to do things that require extending the fingers , like reaching for the clutch lever. Well see what he pulls out on Thursday. I hope it's not one of those nano-octopod thingys.

Often referred to as Dupuytren Contracture. You can read about it here.

The doc went in, removed the stiffening chords and the nodule. Hope he got everything.
It feels better already

Did he mention or you ask about Xiaflex injection ?
It takes at least a week for your hand to recover after a Xiaflex injection for Dupuytren's contracture, in some people it may take 2 to 4 weeks before they can fully use their hand again, especially if you have skin tears which will need daily wound care. Immediately after the procedure, your hand will be wrapped in a soft dressing and will be bruised and swollen but you should be able to drive yourself home (if you drive). You should avoid any kind of heavy lifting or pushing or pulling with the affected hand for at least a week, but you can use your hand for everyday activities such as eating, writing, brushing your teeth, writing, typing, or preparing food. After 1 week you can return to playing golf, tennis, and other recreational activities, but if you have skin tears you will need to wait until the wound heals before you do any recreational activities.
