Bugs, mine are only slightly worse with Dupuytren's. I can still swing a hammer and man a shovel as well as do small work with tiny parts, so no complaints.

I’m taking a break from building my garage deck to type this. Pain is dealt with at night and ibuprofen. Daytime is for working.

Not to be morose, but I found this book to be quite illuminating:

I have often wondered....

My right hand. Index finger at the joint that attaches it to the main section. I think I’m developing arthritis there. Crazy how important that point is. Tossing food in a wok, setting the hook on a fish, etc.

I predict issues down the road. But I still love my hand.

I got my hand smashed between an airplane and a CNC machine.

OP wdfifteen, I am envious...your hand looks great!

At 64 here is mine. Years and years of racing bicycles no sunscreen, bad genetics, and a lifetime of working with hands without concern for safety. My hand in the picture, along with my other, and my shoulders and lower back are filled with arthritis.



I should create a similar thread for aging forearms, it's ugly haha.
