Dupuytren's disease

[dizzybint]

Thanks a lot Jezer, isnt it terrible though that nothing is done on the NHS till the hand almost shuts over.. Now I can see how deformed it is and how hard for him to do jobs around the house.. how he manages to drive is beyond me... Ill look into all information being given...

perhaps time to consider a different surgeon?

Husbands hand is getting worse and he finds almost any job difficult and if he accidentally hits the finger off something it painful if it bends back..
