Hello Doc –

It was quite interesting to read through this website, my mother who is 57 years old now is pea size lumps in both her palms.

these lumps have been developing over some year now (i think since last 3 years). there is absolutely no pain currently and she is able to do all her duties normally, but am worried as I read it has the potential to develop and pull the fingers down.

please send me full details of this disease.

Thanking You

Greetings Sandeep,

Your mother’s slow progression is typical of Dupuytren’s contracture.  If you want full details about this problem I suggest you go to Introduction to Dupuytren’s contracture  to get your reading started.  TRH
