Anyone dealing with this? I believe I have it, although I'm heading to a hand specialist this week to confirm. It's weird, but I didn't have any any lumps in the palm of my hand until I had the Moderna Covid vaccine, then a small lump appeared in my palm about a week later. I didn't think much about it, but over the next few weeks it got a lot bigger and then a second lump appeared above the first. I started to get a bit alarmed at that point. Now from all my reading on DC it shows it to be a slow progression, but mine is progressing rapidly. When my hand is a bit stiff or cold, my ring finger does not work properly. As I try to open my hand the finger locks then jumps open. I can work the finger and my hand open and closed and the finger starts to work better. My father had DC (I have no other underlying factors for it), but his progression was very, very slow. In fact, I even forgot that he had it, until I started looking up "lumps in the palm of your hand" and saw that it started this way. I do think the vaccine has taken something that I was predisposed to and set up an inflammatory response in my body that has it progressing at a rapid rate. I'll be interested in seeing whether the specialist has thoughts on this. Anyway, if anyone has this are there supplements you recommend, or hand exercises that have helped? thanks!!
