My buddy has this, its typical in older people and progression is typically slow, however my friend is not old and its progressing very fast. He doesnt want surgery and they will not give him the treatment he think will work. He is one step away from heading down to mexico, so i figured i would throw it out here and see if anyone has had any success with it and what was used? As always thanks ahead of time anons!

I have it and had surgery on both hands using needle sized scapulas and it worked but it came back. It did not hurt though. I went to a surgeon in Tucson who told me of a new surgery that is once and done. He opened my hand up and did not sew it back up. It was bandaged and washed every day. It closed and healed on its own. It took around 4 1/2 weeks. That was 4 years ago and is good to go and no more surgeries.
Awesome! What is the name of this surgery? Never heard of it.
Palmar Fasciectomy
Thank you! Much appreciated.
I had it done in 2018 and it is still perfect
I will call the surgeons office today and get the formal name of the procedure.
Damn yeah they told him he would continue to need surgeries every couple of years. I can pass this on, thank you!!
I forgot to add that with the opened palm, it looks like hell while healing but surprisingly does not hurt
