Had surgery yesterday - what a terrible tragedy that has befallen me!!

I am right handed but fap with the left.

I think I like that it feels a little awkward and uncomfortable.
Same here! I thought I was just some kind of weirdo.

Also, it takes most of us GIAORTERs two hands to fap…
 
Bruner incision,.. Unless you've lost all feeling in that ring finger they might have just severely stretched the nerve when they straightened everything out,.. If you at least have some tingling sensation the nerve may still be regenerating,.. Can take months sometimes.
I have some tingling but it’s been 14 months so I assume that’s been long enough to call it shot

That's what the Dr told me - if there is damage to a nerve from this it's like a mm/month or something (may be off on that) to repair itself.
 
Sounds similar to mine. I have a lightning bolt scar from my first joint by the fingernail to 3/4 of the way down my palm. They remove and clean up my tendons so I can actually open my finger. I never actually fully regained feeling on my left ring finger because I assume he slightly clipped a nerve. Yay me.
Just curious how you knew to have something like that done. Did your hand swell up or something beforehand?

So I had surgery on my left hand yesterday - probably hand AIDS. What a terrible inconvenience this is! I'm left-handed, and now can't use my left hand for anything for two weeks - pretty much the worst thing to happen to any person, ever.

I've never even tried to do any normal day to day stuff with my right hand before, so it's all weird and abnormal and feels awkward - I don't know how you right-handed people make it through the day!!

And I can't even feel any of the fingers on my left hand (which is apparently normal for now), so I've got to be real careful that I haven't set them on a hot burner, or put them in the blender, or anything.

Thoughts and prayers for my continued survival!!
Best of luck. Will be curious to hear your updates. At some point I've got a bunch of fingers, on both hands, with Depuytrens contractures that are going to have to be dealt with.

So after I posted what spurred this is realized I skipped over that affliction. Never heard of it before but seems not uncommon here on HORT. Hoping for the best for you guys.

Yeah, in some cases it can be dealt with via injections or relatively easy localized cutting of tendon to release the finger. So I went to see a hand surgeon at one point about it. She starts by saying the words that I thought they taught you not to lead with in first year of medical school: "oh this is interesting." Then she starts using phrases like "have a look around" and "skin grafts". So I decided to wait a bit.

My first surgery went really well. I am only 32 and my left hand ring finger was about 45 degrees. Lots of buildup in the palm and knuckles. I also have knuckle pads. My hand now goes flat on a table but it’s pretty stiff. Nothing they can do about the knuckle pads. Therapy is very tough and honestly is kinda mentally tough too just not being able to use your hand for a while. I have my other hand scheduled for the 27th here so get to do it all over again

My wife’s cousin did the injections. He was pleased with it but said it was the most painful thing in his life. And they hit it in several spots.

Find a specialist that deals with dupuytrens all the time

My fingers won’t go flat. Only get to about 45 degrees so it makes every day tasks more difficult. I can’t lay my hand flat on a table. I feel it’s also messing up my knuckles and pulling them sideways.

My issue was a little different. It was a mass that had built up under a finger. Kinda like this:

But directly on the underside of the finger, rather than off to the side. It never bothered me, just looked weird. I thought the procedure would've been a lot simpler, but I guess because of where it was, and that it might be surrounding the nerve, it became a little bigger deal.

"Depuytrens contractures" sound way worse and more debilitating. Hopefully that's something you can get taken care of.

** Edited to add: I'm not sure what's going on with that guy's alien pinky finger in the photo, but he should get that looked at also!!

I you had changed it up once in a while and fapped with your right hand, you wouldn't be struggling so badly now.
Maybe it’s just me, but I became an ambidextrous fapper ~96 hours after discovering internet porn due to the mouse.

I broke my dominant arm in high school. Having a cast sucked. Some of the problems…
Using a fork or spoon.
Tying shoes.
Zipping pants.
Flossing teeth.
Wiping dat ass.
This was prior to widespread keyboarding, so writing papers.

BTW, good to hear that is wasn’t hand guinira or the herps.

What did you have done?

Last year I had dupuytrebs contracture surgery to remove from my left hand. That hand was out of commission for a solid month and took several months to regain full strength. End of this month I have my right hand. I’m somewhat ambidextrous but still not looking forward to wiping and fapping with the left. Sounds like I better start to practice
No shit. I am a candidate for that as well. Did you look into injections at all prior? How has your recovery gone?
Would you do it again based on the results?

Without getting too gross or whatever, had a "mass" removed from my left middle finger. Dr wasn't sure what it was - gotta get it tested (like I said, the hand AIDS!). To get it though they had to cut from halfway down my palm to halfway up that finger.
Dang, dude. Lotta cuttin‘ goin’ on.

It was first thought to be a Northern European thingy, and called the Viking Disease. Google that thing. Turns out it is a worldwide issue, more so with males.
Mine accelerated with an injury due to a fall that ripped the web between my left pinky and ring finger. Nearly tore my pinky off, 9 stitches, no fracture. Hurt like a mutha scratcher.
This caused further damage to an earlier injury due to a cut on my palm. Hand Doc said that this thing “has an attitude and I pissed it off” which inflamed the problem. I have no loss of strentgh, only minor pain, but issues weirdly enough with using the pinky on a keyboard. The finger is kicked out and misses the a,q, and z.
He said that physical therapy and exercise would not change things and to give him a call in six months if I wanted to do surgery. His caution was that in some 10% of cases, surgery would actually “piss the thing off” and cause further infraction (drawing inward) of the fingers.
How ‘boutcha @CJ Beat Hard ?

Ts & Ps to your balls and hoping they don't explode from the resulting pressure buildup.

Have heard that Dupuytrens affects to some degree approx. 20% of individuals of northern European descent,.. Some of the recognizable afflicted that I'm aware of would be Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, John Elway...

Actually, it has shown to be widespread in other places, such as Northern Africa.
Pretty wild thingy.
