scleroderma vs Dupuytrens palm thickening

You need to have surgery to relax them. I have Dup. It really does not keep it from happening in the future. I am 71 and I had the surgery when I was about 60. I see and feel the tightening in my palms but no pain really. At least not yet. My Rheumy told me no surgery again until fingers are turned in.
Are any of your ancestors from Northern Europe?

I wish you the best dear.

@cher50 orthopedist sent me to rheumatology in light of my high antibodies for scleroderma but rheum was not interested in my hand and just sort of mumbled about Dupuytrens.

I guess I will wait to see if it gets worse and then see a hand surgeon. It is quite painful but the pain goes from shoulder down so maybe the ortho can help too. I am doing PT 😉
