my father’s hand

my father had a very bad case of Dupuytren’s contracture, which made his hands painful and curled.

interestingly I have developed the same condition on my right hand.

Dupuytren disease is genetic. It runs in families.

it is also known as Viking’s disease.

As the disease progresses, affected individuals may experience difficulty extending their fingers fully. This can make it challenging to perform everyday tasks such as gripping objects, typing, or buttoning clothes.

anyway, my father had it, and I’ve got it. It’s only going to get worse… so that’s life.

  1. It is good that you understand the disease, and can prepare for its onset early – and we all hope that your case is just a light one and you can manage it well without many issues. Take care ~
