Egypt Bent Fingers or Formally called Dupuytren Contracture

If you don't know what it is you don't have it. Strangely this affliction seems to be more prevalent in northern European society, but talking to Egyptians - many have it here as well. Go figure the DNA over time!!!!

I think Egypt persons maybe don't know what it is, and get disinformation  from the locals.

Look at pictures below of my situation and how I got the fix.


Photos of my fingers before - now perfect. Wonderbar!!!!!!!!!!!!


It is easily fixed  by specialized French Doctors, who invented the simple operation - they know how and in 10 minutes. I'll explain more as you read on.

I got it fixed easily, but not cheap, as had to fly to Paris and stay for about 1 week (had vacationed at same time so operation costs where about 10 beers and meal worth). And I am a very happy camper now all is great.

If you have the problem you can google for more info; here is good site.

I am not aware of any Doctor in Egypt that knows the technique for the 10 minute operation called, Needle Aponeurotomy (NA), When I finally decided I needed to take some action I went to Egyptian specialist and was offered the old fashion - cut it apart. See the 2 different procedures below.


Here is youtube of "cut it up" and much pain and many weeks recovery with therapy.



  Now here is what I had done - little tinge of pain when freezing but a "walk it the park". You need to be careful for sometime using your hands. I had one hand  with bit  "stretch discomfort" for about a month, but now all is perfect. I could not type on computer but now all is good.




Here is a list of Doctors trained by French Inventors world wide

In closing - if any Specialist in Egypt are trained - get on the list.

Also, I have contacted my French/Egyptian Doctor, my man for more than 10 years, to maybe arrange to have specialist come in periodically and do the job correct and have a great Egyptian vacation at same time. Price would be within reach of all.

Let's see what happens
