For Dupuytren's contracture "I had the Xiaflex injections on my right hand and was amazed how easy and non-invasive the process was. The next day my doctor gave me a local injection painkiller and manipulated my fingers. The result was instant with no ill effects. I would recommend this procedure over surgery. I understand that Xiaflex is no longer available in Canada and think this is unfortunate for others suffering from this problem."

For Dupuytren's contracture "I've had 2 injections into each hand to correct my Dupuytren's contracture in my pinkies, and it didn't work. Each time, the pinky went back to the way it was prior to the injection. I have recently had surgery on my right hand to remove an excess amount of scar tissue, the likes my new doctor had never seen before. Did more damage than good."

For Dupuytren's contracture "Horrible experience with Xiaflex. Worst medical decision in my life. Allowed hand surgeon to talk me into treatment with Xiaflex. After treatment, my contracture eventually grew massive, then surgery, leaving horrible scar tissue. Today, had surgery to remove scar and graft."

For Dupuytren's contracture "I was treated for Dupuytren contraction for the ring and pinky finger on my left hand. I had significant discomfort with the Xiaflex injection on fingers, subsequent swelling of the left hand, and minor discomfort in the left armpit, which also turned red. However, after two weeks, the improvement to the fingers has been almost 100%, and it appears to be continuing to improve. Hopefully, I never have to have it again. However, if necessary, I would. Be advised, I’m a 69-year-old male in good health."

For Dupuytren's contracture "Very effective. The secret is a good hand doctor. Completely satisfied with Xiaflex, which corrected a 90-degree bend in my pinkie. Despite a skin tear during follow-up manipulation and the subsequent many bandage changes, it sure beats surgery."

For Dupuytren's contracture "Had left hand done in May and now having right hand manipulated tomorrow. Xiaflex injections are somewhat painful but worth it. The local injections are worse but tolerable, manipulation is nothing. Had minor bruising but no problems otherwise. My right hand has swollen and been a little more painful since the Xiaflex injection earlier, but I am right-handed and use it more. Find a good doctor and get this done, nothing to it!"

For Dupuytren's contracture "It hurts like anything, but is well worth it. Pain is only while you are receiving the injections. Almost normal after 3 days. I think finding a doctor that does this a lot is key and catching it early. My shots were paid for by a grant, except for $150, which the company selling the drug took care of."

For Dupuytren's contracture "I had the procedure done in February 2023, 2 years ago now. Must have had a good doctor because although I do remember pain during the procedure, it was very bearable and quick. Before the procedure, my ring finger was curved dramatically, and the fingers on each side of it were also being pulled over. After the procedure, I estimate 85-90% improvement in the ring finger and almost 100% in the other two. The thick chord is still going through the middle of my hand. Over the last two years, there has been a slight increase in the curvature of my ring finger, but performing the exercises given to me post-procedure seems to immediately straighten it. I really should wear the hand splint at night because it does seem to temporarily help when I do. I would recommend it as an alternative to surgery, which can be bad, and talk to a doctor about programs to help reduce the out-of-pocket cost. My doctor was very helpful with that! He told me that it was likely to return maybe 10 years?"

For Dupuytren's contracture "I had it done 5 years ago (the first finger hurt like hell, the second finger I demanded a local). So now one finger is fine and the other is about 20 degrees but okay. So now I have 3 more fingers that are problematic and I go in tomorrow with apprehension due to the pain... local will be demanded. Also, after the first finger was done, I had pain for a couple of weeks. The second finger was fine???"
