I saw a commercial about a prescription medicine they have for that, but I also read the fine print, and it said Carbamazepine can cause that to happen, so people who have seizures couldn't take it.

Tyranb77 , that’s exactly what I’m talking about. I’ve had my fingers in my left hand tried to curl up a little bit on several different occasions. As far as I know nobody else in my family had that on either side, but I also know that I’m the only one in my family on both sides that has to deal with both the epilepsy and hydrocephalus . I’m not aware of anyone on either side that has had the duplyntrens contracture and either hand

I did some research and if you mean Dupuytren's Contracture; It's often hereditary and linked to Northern European descent. This condition commonly affects men over 40. Treatment, including injections or surgery, is used to improve finger mobility when they can no longer be placed flat.

I get you Quinn totally. I’m having a PT coming over this afternoon.

Quinn16 My PCP insists that I walk 30 minutes every day. In addition to the foot fibromas, I have really bad bunions. Those hurt more than the lumps. As opposed to inflicting pain on myself by walking, I use a bicycle in weather-friendly conditions, and a stationary bike if I can't ride outdoors. My balance issues are more medication related. I'd never pass a roadside field sobriety test, and it shows immediately if I have my eyes closed. I'll say though, for years I've been walking on the outside edges of my feet, and it has a bad effect on my hips and lower back. Custom orthotics don't help. I fact, nothing has helped, and I've gone through five podiatrists. I can't walk barefoot in sand. I'll make it about ten feet, and I have to crawl back on my hands and knees because I can't stand the pain. At least with bike pedals, I can position my foot so the ball of my big toe is pushing the pedal instead of putting the pressure on my arches. I'm falling behind with muscle mass also, and not just in my legs. It sucks, I know. Another invisible condition. We got the double-whammy.
