Hi Genie ... "Dupuytren's contracture" is an entirely diffent matter. Most doctors tells me that I have it because of my family history. My Father had it. My father's heritage is Finnish. There's a diet relationship. Finns, and other Nordic countrys share a very short growing season, because of the climate. Their diet is mainly root vegtables and rye grains.

There are two surgery options that I'm aware of. For the time being, I'm ignoring the problem until it reaches the point that I can no longer play guitar. bob
