I have Dupuytren’s contracture and am currently using DMSO and SSKI applied topically, I would also like to mix Vitamin E 70,000 IU with the DMSO and SSKI to make the process easier and more effective. Does anyone know if the Vitamin E can be mixed with the DMSO, I have tried applying the Vitamin E and then using the DMSO over it, that doesn't seem to work very well as the DMSO just beads up over the oil.
Again, any help appreciated. I have Googled myself senseless and cannot find the answer.- Re: Dupuytren’s contracture. trapper/kcmo

I know somebody who went to the doctor with something looking like this and a few more other varieties herein to the ill woes of the hand
Anyway...told it was genetic thing and one is European with this ...
the somebody never went to this SW Surgeon Dude for the surgery.
Very interesting these doctors' comments on stuff they pretend to know how to fix.
Stay on your iodine Trap...I don't think this will happen again...and stop doing what you were doing to get them.

This is a reply to # 1,591,257My twin brother was told last year that he has Dupuytren's. It was after he broke his little finger playing tennis but he told me he felt something before that after straining his hand doing some shoveling.
His is a mild case but he is considering surgery or a needle procedure to improve his tennis game. I am looking for alternative help for him as I have just been discovering wonderful help for myself with body work called "Egoscue" and "MELT".
"Egoscue" and "MELT" have to do with muscle work exercise for full body alignment and to hydrate connective tissue, muscle or fascia.
I have suggested he find a massage therapist who works with myofascial release. Perhaps acupuncture could help?
His doctor told him to stop taking glucosamine because it could make the condition worse by adding fiber to the collagen cord. I don't really understand this condition but I just found out today that my twin has this condition so I hope to come up with some helps for him.
He has actually been thinking of cutting the cord he feels in his hand himself! This is crazy but I think he missed his calling to be a surgeon. He likes to work with his own stitches and tinker with repairing his teeth etc. He also has a very high tolerance for pain. He is a real do it yourself kinda guy - I on the other hand am a very alternative health and exercise seeking girl. Of course he most likely won't listen to me (a prophet is not accepted in his own land). That won't stop me from loving him and trying to help.
Please let me know if anything is working for you Trapper? And what you think about massage, physical therapy and body work for this condition?
I may make a new post on this to see if I can get some other thoughts. I am praying for answers for my bother and help for others as well.

This is a reply to # 1,591,064I had the left hand operated on about 10 years ago, it turned out very well. Several years ago it started on the other left hand (some have two left feet) and much like the other hand if it gets pulled down too far I'm afraid if I break it there would be no way to set it, or cause other damage that could not be repaired. With all the Farm Eqpt and picking up Hay Bales that could happen quite easily.
You'r lucky Trapper, I'm Irish, German and American Indian, I don't know who to blame and no one will claim me anyway.
Take care ya'll,

This is a reply to # 1,596,864I don't buy into the Viking theory as I have this also and it comes from my Great Grandmother who was supposedly full blooded Cherokee. She passed it along to my dad. I have it, so does my nephew and his son.
In us the first sign is a crooked pinky finger. My dad died in his mid-sixties, never having developed the bumps in the hand or bending of the fingers. I (at age not spoken nor writen aloud) have had bumps for two years.

This is a reply to # 1,883,066It is hereditary...she wasnt full blooded...it comes from Europe, Scandinavia, Irish, Scottish, etc...I have it in both hands and both feet. Had surgery, needle procedure, Xiaflex, and tried everything natural. DSMO didnt work for me. Since I have multiple sites, I can try one location at a time. DSMO causes an increase in the size of my cord. Vitamin E along with DMSO was like fertilizer, caused quick problems and cord growth. Vitamin E alone did the same thing, but slower growth. Nothing natural has worked at all and most of the time increased my bad symptoms. The most success I was with Xiaflex, but it took many injections that are $3000 a pop, and I think there are some side effects I still fell today, one year later. But it did make the DC cord fully break in one finger and it hasnt returned, where all other treatment including surgery only offered temporary relief.
