Thank you so much for an easy to understand evidence based review of this condition!

If i was to wear a compression sock at night would i remove the tape? So wear the sock at night and tape during the day?

Thank you for your videos on this subject! Though I have had the condition for years, I was just diagnosed with it this week. I cannot get on my knees or the ground to do these exercises, but I can at least walk and do the one standing to the side of the chair. I have this condition on both thighs. My doctor has me wearing a dress instead of pants and I have switched undergarments.

My dad had Dupuytren's contracture in his late 70's on his ring finger. He never had his DNA done, but his paternal grandmother was of Germanic descent. I had my DNA done and I have 4% Norwegian DNA along with 92% combination of Northwestern Europe/England/Scotland/Wales/Ireland. I've also done my genealogy back to well before 1600 on most lines, and nary a -son or -dotter in the bunch. I'm left to assume that the Norwegian is a throwback to the Danelaw period of England. As well, through various lines on my dad's side (although my McClellan/Watson mom has significant ties back to 1400-era Scotland) we directly descend from James III and James IV of Scotland. If I didn't mention, my dad was 6'5", his mother 5'10" (and for her generation, born in 1895, was very tall), I am 5'11", my daughter is 6'2"...and I have assorted nephews that range from 6'2" to 6'7". I have to assume that our collective height goes back to Vikings.

I've been having big nodules on my hands and I am just 24 years old. I got diagnosed with Dupuytren last week and I am kind of worried because I do climbing (boulding) and I want to be able to do it for a long time. But I think some day I have to stop because of my dupuytren getting worse.

Change what you eat first and see. Stop sugar and CH.

Thank you for the video. Have been anxious for I have a swollen inner ankle. I am now in the 2nd month of reduced weight.

Finally someone being honest about this condition and how long it takes to heal if it does thank you so much for sharing this valuable information

This is the best explanation I have seen. The one that came closest devolved into an argument on why it is wrong to blame the Vikings. I don't care. They are all dead. I don't blame my ancestor for things like genetic defects. I am too busy feeling guilty over them profiting indirectly from slavery in the 17th century. Give me a break.

I have it. I think my mother has it, but she won't let me look at her hands. Sometimes she says she has arthritis, but when pressed, she admits her doctor said it was something else. Then she says I am making everything up. My mother has always had her ownversion of reality.

I had some blunt force trauma on the dorsal wrist 2 months ago. 2 bone bruises and a partial tfcc tear. But i have a lump a bit bigger than a grain off rice. It can move freely around in the entire wrist and up to the index finger. Its very hard and gets stuck on nerves etc. Had an mri but they didnt see the lump. What could it be?

Hi, could you please tell me if you think that rheumatoid arthritis could cause this condition?

How many times in a day

I haven't read all the comments but I am utterly surprised that there is little to no mention of God's miracle oil. CASTOR OIL. People, I am not selling anything, not getting paid, not benefiting from this post at all, but I MUST share my experiences with CASTOR OIL. I'm 70 years old, and have rather serious OA in my left thumb. My right thumb is starting to get painful. As a matter of fact, I have OA in my knees as well, most likely from being overweight for quite some years. Now I suffer the consequences from that. I have had Hyaluronic injections in my both knees and that went well for a couple of years. They are not covered by the health fund - of course. I asked it they could do the same for my painful thumb, but they said it didn't work and suggested surgery with a replacement metal joint. I said thanks but no thanks. Then about half a year ago, I discovered CASTOR OIL. For my hair growth basically. It works fine! Then I started doing more research on the oil and started using it for under eye bags, dry eyes, skin, all my joints, constipation and overall health. Folks: I wish I had found this years ago!!!! The pain in my knees is gone, I can walk comfortably since I rub the oil on my knees every evening. My dry eyes are healed: no more suffering from being an online information addict. Totally gone. No more useless , ridiculously expensive eyedrops from the pharmacy! (Here in Flanders they cost 2000€ per liter!!! and it's mainly water!) My eye bags have drastically diminished and would disappear if I could go to bed earlier than 2, 3 or 4 am.....🙄🙄🙄 So since 10 days I started rubbing the oil on my left thumb (the worst pain though I am right handed) every evening too. The joint will of course never regrow cartilage and the pain will be there, but trust me folks, the pain has gone down from 10 to 1 on the scale!!! I am even rubbing my right thumb, minimal pain, just to prevent it from stopping me doing my craft work. FOLKS: DO SOME RESEARCH, you don't even have to believe me, get informed and GO GET SOME CASTOR OIL!!!! You will be surprised as to the wonderful relief from all these ailments it will accomplish! I will never, ever be without Castor Oil again! Be sure to get the real pure stuff: unrefined,hexane free and virgin oil. DO NOT BUY oil that comes in plastic or clear bottles! This pure virgin oil - like ALL virgin oils! - has to be in a dark GLASS bottle. Good luck, people, and GOD BLESS!🙏

Great video, my wife’s big toe ,left foot, is stinging up. She just got some good shoes, Brooks Ariel. GTS 23, now if I can get her to get rid of the sandals.

If i have it, can i continue to go to the gym

Thank you for all the valuable information. Im going to watch your suggested exercise video next. Hopefully they will help.

Thanks for the information 👍

I can’t even make the ok sign when it’s in pain. Plus it itches SO bad is that normal? Constant itch never relieved.

5:23 5:24 5:25 5:25 😢😢😢😢. I have the opposite. Too high arch. What shall I do?

thanks a lot! just got MP after surgery on my acetábulo bone... Burns like hell 100% of the time. As soon as the bone is strong enough I will do it all! Thank you so much.

So basically there is no real cure, and one has to live with it...!!!

in 63, I developed it in both hands , i noticed it about 6 months ago. I use a computer everyday for hours. No one in my family had it. Im not Viking. im European decent.

There's a lot of people I know At work that have this. We all work at Amazon

I’m vegan several years but my one hand at the base of my left thumb keeps getting swollen and painful. I do alot of phlebotomy and IV’s and I’m left handed.. maybe that’s it?

I slipped & fell twice last yr ,but l breaker the 1st fall ,then l damaged my left wrist ,2nd time l got a blackout as l got covid virus ,so l keep massaging & bandage it a lot when am not working in water as it's my left hand & it's getting better so far ,it's like 75% already

Mine developed about 2 years ago at age 60..i am middle child of 7...none of the others have it..and i don't recall either of my parents having a problem...genetic🤔🤔?????

Thanks for the video. Can I ask a question? I'm a 30yo male, been drawing for the past 7 years, recently became a full-time artist. Last year I was diagnosed with OA in my right drawing hand. At first I didn't pay much attention to it, but this year it's started to be noticeable, the middle and ring finger grew into a ( bracket - shape along with very visible spurs in a few places (especially the joint I use to rely a pencil on). I've become really worried about my future. I know for a fact that it's hereditary, my grandma has it all over her hands, but she's in her 70s, not 30s! Would you say that it matters if I put pressure on that distal middle finger joint with a pencil? It's how you usually hold a pencil. The pressure is not big, but rather for long periods of time. Drawing sessions might take 4-6 hrs once or twice per day.

Merci !!

You explained everything that my ortho did not (which is how I ended up finding you). THANK YOU!!! Two questions: 1) Could you please address what diet changes may be helpful and 2) whether or not wearing support can help slow or prevent further deterioration? Lastly a suggestion: I know someone that took too much ibuprofen (deliberately) and almost needed a liver transplant. Advil takes my pain away very effectively but I only use it when I cannot take it anymore and never for more than a few days. I think you should be more assertive about the dangers of abusing OTC medications.

The disfigurment of my finger joints has been going on since 2001 ish. So 23 years and now the pain has started. I have so much hope after listening and reading all the comments. Thank you everyone. Together we can overcome or at the very least minimize our struggles. Forever grateful

Thanks

I gave up gluten and the swelling and pain disappeared. If i now eat any gluten , I can feel my thumb tingling.

I didnt want to manage my symptoms of akiles tendinitis and plantar fasciatis, I wanted to fix the problem!!! I suffered from these problems for 30 bloody years !!!! In the morning i couldn't simply walk. Currently i started learning about body mobility and it was a LIFE SAVIER!!! SPECIALLY ANKLE AND FOOT MOBILITY. Theres plenty of videos about iton youtube and also streching my knees and hip flexors helped alot . They all conected. I also applied CASTOR OIL PURE, helped my pain go away .. and finally i could bear walking bare foot and bought my pair of bare foot shoes that have been helping alot!!! Currently i have no akiles tendinites nor plantar fasciates. I cure myself !!!

I agree with others commenting that this is the best plantar fasciitis video. I would also like to compliment on the bookshelf ends from the collectors edition of the Lord of the Rings films (I have them as well). After watching this, I do wonder if what I have, as a wannabe runner, is truly plantar fasciitis. The pain tends to be more towards the arch of the foot rather than the heel, and recently it seen to resolve within a day of appearing. Several months ago I had bottom of the foot pain lasting for at least several months it seemed, although never severe, it did keep me from running. In the past, I had been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, but that was years ago (also from running).

Can I pop a kinda hard small ball right at the creese where my thumb is attached to palm side?

Good thx sir

I had a tibia and fibula fracture 5months ago, now i walk but i have a flat feet and pain amd swelling in the ankle.. what can i do ?

I want a cure! Please research, the answer is out there. I know crazy idea, but...

I suffered this many years ago. The pain was violent and painful, although not all the time. But carrying or holding things was really difficult. Simplest example was that it was really difficult to even carry a cup and saucer in one hand. Thankfully I was told to try magnesium oil and it's was a life changer, so much so I am now pain free. Better still, I always wiped xs oil from my hands on my knees and an issue in my knee has also now gone.

The first time my big toe MTP pain started, was after wearing a new pair of work boots with metatarsal guards… They put pressure on the joint from above, and when the boot material creases, it pushes sharply into the top of the joint. Last 5 days has basically felt like I was walking around on a foot that felt like it had been whacked with a hammer. 🔨 😣

All that rowing! 🚣

I love it.

I have nodular arthritis in every finger. 3 fingers have fused and the others are on their way. Im 53 and this started 5yrs ago but become much more aggressive in the last 2 yrs. Im a tiler by trade and it's effecting my work. Only my thumb and middle finger work on my right hand. It's extremely painful. I have an appointment with a surgeon next month to see about joint replacements. It's a very depressing condition as you need your hands for everything

This was an excellent video for this problem.

Very clear video and I appreciate you showing the average time to heal and what can be done that is research based

Thanks sir

Thank you so much. You just helped me diagnose myself. I'm going to try the ibuprofen gel for sure. So will heat or ice help at all?

Very thorough. Thank you so much

Thank you for all these exercises! I appreciate them, this video was helpful and intertaining as well :). Something that happen to me it's that my pinky finger hides behind my ring finger (the palm side), it's like it wanna go behind when I close my hands. I had tennis elbow before and I don't know if it can have some relation.
