BTDT a few times. Fortunately, it did not progress to the point of curling any fingers but certainly produced some good sized nodules in my palms. Lived with it as long as I could but lifting weights finally just became too painful and I bit the bullet and had surgery. Glad that I did. First the right and then the left a few years later. Looks like you have a nice scar to show off.

My understanding that it is far more prevalent in those of Northern European ancestry. At least that is what I have read and my ortho told me.

Several years later, I had the pleasure of developing Ledderhose's in the arch of my left foot. Basically, the same deal but on the bottom of the foot. Not an issue until the ski boots with custom insoles went on. So, back on the table.

There is some thought that Peyronie's (bent carrot) is another form of this condition.
