Runs in my family...so I'll be checking in to see what's new. Both of my older brothers have or soon to have surgery on hands.

Hello @dhamm, Welcome to Connect. You mentioned that Dupuytren's Contracture runs in your family and both brothers are looking at surgery. I thought I had it a few years ago but I think mine is more carpal tunnel syndrome. Here's some information you might find helpful on treatments - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dupuytrens-contracture/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20371949.

Are you having the symptoms in your hands similar to your older brothers?
