Dupuytren's Contracture: Causes, Symptoms, & Treatment

[@metalgear-]

I was 20 years old working at a Gas station having a Football catch w/ a co-worker. He threw the ball hard as possible & it jammed my pinky which hurt like crazy. After a few weeks of tremendous pain & no ability to see a Doctor my finger healed closed against my hand. Fast forward 25 years later & yall telling me I have Dupuytrens yet I know the tissue in my hand was damaged & the body simply healed such as a callus. This whole time I thought my pinky was Broken yet now I have other fingers that are affected cuz I guess I worked too hard all those years. I also dropped a Pallet at work on my toe which broke the skin under my toe nail but the nail never fell off. Now my toe is forever changed sitting on a Callus of hardened flesh just like Dupuytrens. It’s literally that simple. The Body heals damaged tissue via hardening such into a Callus.

My dupuytren's contracture HAD been getting worse for years both hands. Some descriptions of this syndrome say it is painless and for me that is mostly true except now and then I get intense burning painful sensation that only lasts a minute or something It might have to do with healing although I initially thought it was when it was increasing. This morning my right hand did the burning thing but afterwards I notice it is almost gone! and my left side seems to be remarkable reduced also but still oretty penounced. I wonder if something I am doing lately is helping? Three new things I started doing A 12 hour fasting B 1 ounce of extra virgin olive oil every day and C over a month ago now I added NAC to my suppliments the Now brand 1000mg which I snap in half and take half in the morning with breakfast and half with evening meal. I wonder if it is one of these? or a combination> Maybe something else idk I would love for some others to try these things for weeks and see if there is any improvement in tabletop test or if you experience the burning sensation?

I hope you read my comment cuz yall seem confused by Dupuytrens yet I am not cuz I recall very vividly the pain I felt w/ my Injury yet we are simply just tearing the tissues in our hands & the body is then hardening that tissue so I suggest do NOT overexert what you can & should do moving forward w/ your hands cuz yall tear the tissue & it’s only going to spread to new areas
