Trigger finger versus Dupuytren's contracture: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

I got Dupuytren's at age 49 my hands have an achy dull feeling most the time and feels like electric shock at times trying to do things. I have no contractions about 4 soft nodules and a few light cords trying to come through. And according to a Dupuytren's forum most of us have pain, but some do not. You definitely have pain when you're fingers get bent because that is not the nature of your fingers. Thanks for sharing, this is a good explanation to share with my friends when trying to explain DC.

[@sallyking8330]

Please look into low dose radiation therapy as a treatment for dupuytren's or ledderhose

Thank you for your very clear explanations. I have Dupuytren's and am playing a lot of piano. I just reached 80 years old and would like to continue Playing as long as possible. Am going to look through your videos to do some of your exercises. Not yet at the stage of contractures but experience some pain and especially stiffness when playing.

Thank you for your videos. I had trigger finger surgery on two fingers and my thumb a couple of weeks ago now. Your exercises have helped me gain strength and mobility in my right hand.

Thank you for this. I had xiaflex a couple years ago and the recovery was amazing. I now have friends who I think have trigger finger and need to see a hand specialist, so I forwarded this video to them.

[@leeeldrut]

In the past 5 1/2 years I have had 8 trigger finger release's, 4 dupuytren's constrictions and 1 carpel tunnel surgeries. The trigger finger release surgery is nothing compared to the Dupuytren's. The dupuytren's in much more involved . The trigger finger, as it progresses will cause pain, the dupuytren's will have no pain, just the folding of your fingers into the palm of your hand. I have a friend that did not get this treated and today he can't pull up his pants cause his fingers are so curled up into his palms he can't grip anything .If dupuytren's is not treated it can make your hand useless. I waited too long on my first dupuytren's on my right hand ring finger and now it will not straiten out . I have about a 10-15 degree bend in it. The doc told me I should of come in sooner as I let it go too far. Please if you have any signs of either of these get yourself as fast as possible to a board certified hand surgeon. I am 77 soon to be 78 years old male.

[@debbiesmith2207]

I know of a lot of botched surgeries. If doctors can't even agree on the diagnosis never mind the treatment. I'm more interested in treating the root cause then each symptom as it arises. My first trigger fingers developed when I was 17 years old . I did not have surgery they resolved on their own, occasionally having problems from overuse between that time and now at 65 years old . I also have had arthritis, carpal tunnel, Dupont trends, and dupentrens. Most of these things were caused by overuse . No surgery required. Looking for ongoing therapy a treatments for the root cause

[@jclark5172]

Thanks for the channel. I just had PNF by Dr Pess in NJ for the 2nd time for Dup. I am a PT but not a hand specialist so your extensor exercises were a great review. (different video) I would like to say from personal experience that the sooner the better for needle fasciotomy and don't settle for a surgeon that tells you that PNF only works on MP joints. If your PIP is involved see a different surgeon. Recovery can be quick and amazing if you see a good surgeon. Seeing an CHT for a night splint and for active extension exercises after is imperative for good result. Thanks for all you do!

Video posting person hasn’t responded to any comments-such a common bit of carelessness. I would think regular gentle-yet-determined circular massage motions on the affected palm with arnica salve or some related pure & natural plant-leaf salve could be an enormous help - anyone here tried self-treatment along those lines?😅

[@ee222]

great explanation of the 2. thanks! FWIW, i had trigger finger in my thumb several years ago (back in the 1990's). it was diagnosed by my doctor at the time and he told me that surgery was an option, but success was very minimal. as a result, i opted to not do the surgery. as you stated in the video, my thumb at the time would "click" and sometimes only if i used my other hand to force it. it was very uncomfortable. i studied different possible solutions (i'm big into natural meds). i eventually found a glucosamine/chondroitin combo capsule (i always go for quality over price). based on the bottle's dosage for regular maintenance, i decided to double it since i needed more than "regular maintenance". i followed this dosage for a week or so, then upped the amount. to make a long story longer.... i eventually maxed out at 15 capsules 3x/day (that's 45 capsules/day!). sure, it was expensive, but in the long run, after several months of taking this dosage, the trigger finger TOTALLY went away (i knew i was on the right track because it was slowly improving at the dosage that i was taking). once it was all better, i slowly tapered off the dosage, making sure i paid attention to whether or not the trigger finger issue returned. since it didn't, i kept decreasing the dosage until i was totally off the capsules (took about a year or so. i don't remember the exact time frames as this was back in the 1990's). to date, i haven't had to go back on it and the trigger finger has not returned. after being healed of the trigger finger i've had full function of my thumb (something my doctor told me i probably would never have, had i gotten surgery). keep in mind, i am NOT a doctor, i am NOT trying to diagnose anybody's condition, and i am NOT saying this will work for anyone who has trigger finger. all i am doing is reporting what i did and the outcome that i have had.

[@christinanicholls9868]

That’s good to know thanks. Glad your trigger thumb went away. I have it in my left thumb. I’m following these exercises and keeping it stable when I sleep and after exercising. I haven’t seen a Dr. because I’m thinking they will prob push surgery. Natural first for me too. I may do PT. I may also try these supplements thanks.

[@ee222]

@@christinanicholls9868 i wish you well in your efforts. hope the PT is giving you relief. if you decide to supplement the PT with an oral supplement, i can't stress enough to go with quality over price, but that doesn't mean the most expensive has the most quality either. find a good naturopathic (sp??) doctor that you trust that can steer you in the right direction. try to go with capsules NOT tablets (caps are easier to digest) and try to stay away from sources that use ingredients from china (china is a super polluted country & in my experience, their labels can't be trusted). also, do your best to make sure that the ingredients are from real food sources and not chemically manufactured. lastly, listen to your body. sometimes a particular brand that works for one person may not work for another. same goes for the quantities. hopefully your journey to recovery is a short one and that your pain/discomfort is noticeably minimized while you're on that journey!!

Hi me again 2 years later. I had an MRI on my right hand and it showed that I have abnormal fluid build up by my middle and ring finger joints in my palm. (I can't make a fist or close my hand due to immense pain) I've read that the doctors normally aspirate the fluid out of the joint. Is that incredibly painful? Do they do that in the office or do you have to go to a surgicenter to have this done.. I've already had two injections in that area this year. I'm not good with pain and even though they spray this cold stuff on the injection spot I can barely stand the injection itself. I have to see the hand surgeon tomorrow Nov 20, 2023. I just wondered so I could psyche myself up. Thank you.

[@gingercaitie]

During my trigger finger surgery, they said the tendon was worn down and partially torn. They had to shave it, not repair it. They snipped one of the pulleys, I believe. They said there was a nodule on it as well. Middle finger, but the ring finger is heading that way as well. No one ever even tried to look at anything other than trigger finger for me. It took two years of painful "trigger" finger before my poor excuse of a primary care doc referred me to an Ortho surgeon. Not sure what it is/was for sure, tbh.

I’m a female of Scandinavian decent (Viking?) who had surgery for Dupuytren’s Contracture. The contraction affected my middle and ring finger, as there was a mound of flesh beneath them. My doctor pulled what actually felt like a long cord out of my hand. Recovery was about three weeks, and it was lovely to have the use of my whole hand again. However, I was told it could come back. My sister has it, too.

[@VirtualHandCare]

That is great your recovery was so short! I do hope it does not come back !

[@susantom4400]

Hi Patricia I am a female of German descent and believe I have this same problem. I did a phone consult with a hand specialist who said that I need to wait until it is worse before surgery should be done. I am in Canada so it is difficult to get these kinds of surgeries as we can’t pick our own doctors. If I touch my middle finger to my thumb (like the “yoga pose but with middle finger instead of first finger) I can’t straighten my ring finger on both hands.

I'm in Canada and I'm having my DC surgery on Monday. My GP referred me to a hand surgeon and I was seen in a matter of weeks. My surgery was scheduled for 2 weeks after that.

i've had trigger finger in my left pinky finger for a few years but only now have i found out what it is. i thought it was nothing to worry about because it has never caused me any pain or discomfort, its just mildly annoying when it's a bit more difficult to straighten then my other fingers. one thing i've noticed is if i try to straighten out all my left fingers, only the other 4 straighten and my pinky sits in a curved position which feels like its natural resting position. i can straighten it but its like i have to put extra effort into it. while it still doesn't affect me at all apart from being a little annoying it's definitely something i will think about getting checked out now.

My father had a worse case but he had been a cabinet maker and joiner so blamed it on manual work. My brother has this too (hes a deisel mechanic). I have tried an erganomic mouse which is a little more comfortable. No contracture yet but i expect i should raise the issue with my doctor. Sounds like this hereditary thing? Or can this be aggrevated manually??

Hello Michelle. Thank you for your video. A few questions I have if you don’t mind. Are there any medications, if consistently taken, that could cause either of these conditions to occur in which you mention? Also, could a poor diet or mineral deficiency cause these conditions? I’m curious because out of the blue, starting somewhere in May/June of 2020 or a few months after COVID hit, I woke up one morning and experienced what I assumed was Trigger Finger in my left thumb. This has lasted about a year and just about a week ago, one day, it was gone. Today I woke up and my pinky finger on my right hand is extremely painful at the based knuckle or start of the palm. The knuckle is swollen and if the pinky moves even a millimeter in any direction, the pain is excruciating within that knuckle. I’ve never injured either of those fingers but have always been an athlete and someone who try’s to stay fit at the age of 40. Any reply is greatly appreciated. God bless and thank you.

[@maxinedavieds6104]

I know this video isn’t recent,but I just saw a hand orthopedist, I had a mild trigger finger. No pain. Treated with cortisone. I also noticed a small nodule and thin cord center of my palm, same hand ,which he told me is Dupuytrens.. My fingers are not affected at this point. I would love exercises ,massage or treatment for this to keep it at bay. I had bicep repair a year ago, my finger joint at the palm was swollen and painful a month after. I thought it might be from the sling I wore for 6 weeks. Maybe a coincidence. The Dupuytrens cord showed up about 2 months ago.,

What happens to me doesn't sound like either. lt is 95% when l'm driving and it is 98% my left hand. lt is out of the blue, there is pain and other less familiar sensations as my fingers [not so much my thumb] all contract inward like someone else has control over them. This may last up to a minute or two. What l do is force them open ... still driving ...by pressing my left hand, splayed out, on my thigh.

This will sound odd, but this happened to me.

I eliminated it and within a week, no more trigger finger. I cannot say it was causative, or that it was a coincidence, but I decided to test it about a year later, and ate some tuna fish-it came back immediately. It was a onetime tuna fish salad, took about three days, gone.

I don't have trigger finger as described but more like the Duputrens but I definitely have a lot of pain when it happens. It used to be my pinkie finger that would pull in that I could just massage but lately when Im involved continuously with fine motor like making balloon bouquets and such, the cramps gets so bad that I have to stop and try to over extend the fingers for relief. Lately this is taking more time to complete. It is now affecting both hands. Otherwise no pain at normal activity. No one in my family has this. I have no health issues. I am 63. Help. Im trying all the exercises for hands that I can

Unfortunately I was told even though you have Dupuytren’s cords in your hands doctors won’t do anything to dissolve the cords unless your finger is already bent. I have Dupuytren’s in both hands 4 in one & 3 in the other. They showed up 3 months after I had carpel tunnel & trigger finger surgeries. I was wondering if the dupuytrens showed up because of the surgeries.

Has Dupuytren's been associated with any neurodegenerative disorders? My daughter is 37, multi-handicapped, and is being tested for a variety of neurodegenerative disorders. The last two fingers on her dominant hand have contracted but do not stick or pop.

Great videos. I am at the commencement of dupuytrens I think. I have a hard nodule on my palm with the tendons coming from that to the first finger (so far) and one below it towards the wrist. I don't have any bent fingers ad yet and I wonder if any splints may prevent the bending. I also have some osteoarthritis on the finger joints. I'm Following your exercises and they are superb.

I went to doctor for injection for trigger finger injection and the surgeon started the injection into the my tendon it was painful and I have had pain for years since this they say it's dyupergens contractures I am afraid for the doctor to I know its trigger finger because it is locking and the tendon is still hurting when he injected the sheath downward.

Has any one seen Dupuytren’s start in a 29 F? My grandma had it and my dad had it. Everyone tells me I am too young so it is not that, but it doesn’t seem to get better with rest. I use my hands a lot for my work so it could be an old injury ( I have many that I don’t notice much anymore) but it feels hard and doesn’t get better with rest. i saw a specialist but he seemed to just write me off since I was too young to ‘do anything’ so that didn’t help much

I noticed it early on. The doctors gave me no advice. I ended up cutting out dairy and a lot of grains/carbs. Over time it actually went away. 15 Years later and started eating badly it has returned in my other hand and is more severe. So I have changed my diet again and hoping for the best.

I saw the Dupuytren dimples start on both hands when I was in my late 30s.

[@susanwinkle6988]

[@TeamhuskyTeamhusky]

What is the difference between trigger finger from ulnar claw?

My son seems to have dupatrens. He also has a tight Achilles tendon. Problems walking. Dizziness. Do you know of any disorder that could be causing this issue. Body tendon issues or fluid for tendons or anything. I can’t figure out what kind of doctor I have to go too. Please answer I’m so confused about what has been happening to him. He’s had these issues most of his life. Anyone reading this that might have an idea.
