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.
