With ‪@OrthoEvalPal‬ I show a patient with a Dupuytren's Contracture (Tight Cord in Palm of Hand). I will explain what it is, what it looks like and how to treat it conservatively. Dupuytren's contracture can creep up on you and become very disabling if not treated early.

Thank you for this information. I just started noticing a hard painful lump in my palm about a week now, in my right hand. I figured it had something to do with a tendon, as it felt tight & getting large & quite painful to the touch ( like a bone growth ) I started massaging & pressing on the area three days ago, as the pain was disturbing my sleep, & realized that’s what I need to keep doing, as it reduced the lump & pain, & I’m able to sleep now. I will try soaking in warm Epson salt water as well. Thank you.

I have not been diagnosed with Dypuytrens syndrome but facing same issue. It is very painful. I tried magnesium supplements along with vitamin D and it works. I think one should try raking magnesium malate or glycinate as magnesium us a natural myscle relaxer. Also take Vitamin D separately as most of us are low on Vitamin D. Good luck.

just be mindful of stretching the part of issue and using that only gently. Volleyball would be fine. Gym is OK, but think about what parts of the hand you will use and what tendons are stretched and how....some people use gel gloves for weights I've heard...

I really think because of the Drs diagnosis almost a year ago, that I have not been given proper treatment. It's been almost a year since my initial injury and I'm in worse shape.
