Dupuytren's Disease = TMS?

    Hello.

    I have what doctors told me is "Dupuytren's Disease" or "Dupuytren's Contracture"

    It begins with small nodules in your palm which then can progress to "cords" that pull your fingers down (contraction) though only a very few cases of Dupuytren's actually lead to contraction, most cases stay with nodules + cords with hand-stiffness, i believe it's called non-dupuytrens

    The disease has no known cause, and no cure - people have surgery with high reccurance rate

    I don't have any contractures, just 3 nodules and a thin cord in my hand, i healed myself from horrible chronic back pain using Dr Sarnos methods and to be honest alot of how my Dupuytrens work reminds me of the back-pain

    Every morning my nodules and chords are smaller and softer, then as soon as my brain starts getting into an anxious state my nodules become abit more swollen and hand starts hurting abit, the more i worry about the nodules/disease the more my hand hurts

    If the nodules are swollen and my hands is hurting, i can for real focus on staying in the present moment together with the pain (not feeling any fear) and the nodules will calm down and shrink in size in just 5 minutes


    I got the nodules after i used the bench-press, exactly where i rubbed the barbell against my hand is where the nodules appeared, it was during a time when i felt really really bad (still do) and my hand and the skin on my hand felt very dry and tender (Didnt have any nodules or anything) but it feels like there was a connection between how i felt and how my hand felt. Just the state of my anxiety and how bad i slept, my entire body felt dehydrated, blood circulation felt super sluggish and everything in my body was "off"


    I've read hundreds of posts on reddit and other forums with people who has dupuytrens, and everything feels extremely inconcistant. Some supplements help some people while the same supplement worsen some, some procedures help some but worsen some, sometimes they can use their hands for weeks, and then suddenly their dupuytrens gets "active" because they probably "overdid" it - and to be honest it feels more realistic that they didnt overdo it but something maybe happend in their life during that time (psychological)

    I read a case-study where a man who had contracted fingers was in a therapy session, and he was adressing alot of anger he felt towards his mother and sister and in the middle of his rage and breakthrough he suddenly straighened his finger which was impossible for him before, the doctor suggested more research regarding pscyhological aspects and causation for Dupuytrens, but this was in the 90s and nothing has been done on that front since then, everything has been structural

    Edit:
    Also sometimes when i feel stressed, i feel the cord in my hand being stretched and painful even if my hand physically looks and feels relaxed, but when i relax my inner self i feel something inside my hand relax aswell and suddenly the cord gets alot softer


    Anyone who has had any experience with Dupuytren's as TMS?


    cheers
