Was curious if any guitar players had experience with this malady. I was diagnosed with Dupytren's last week. It's in the early stages and I still have full use of my hand. I'm hearing that there is a less invasive needle procedure that is offered in Europe. Unfortunately, surgery seems to be the only remedy offered in US.

I'd very much appreciate any advice or guidance.

Hi, Phrigian i really do have pain with you,

Jurassicbye2003, all i know from a friend who is a "i don't know the word "
Ok guys working with concrete ( you know building walls, houses, fences)
We guys in europe don't put a lot of wood in our buildings.
So cement can give you this , it's like arthrosis , it is worth , you can't fold your fingers and it hurts . Your hands look like balloons¨Phrigian i am going to ask about healing this, a friend of mine whom grandfather got this told me about...........

Thanks for your concern Blue. I had never heard of it myself until a week ago. It primarily affects males of northern european descent. I believe the treatment in Europe is more advanced than here in the US. Any info you can provide is very much appreciated. Thanks!
