Epilepsy and "Trigger finger"

[ranman]

I saw my neurologist recently for my 6 month check up and he noticed my operation scar on the palm of my hand, I told him that it was from an operation I had for "trigger finger". Then he said it was from long term use of Dilantin ~ called "Dupyutren's Contracture".
The attached documentation states that one of the causes is "Epilepsy" as well as acoholism and diabetes.

I had no idea that this condition was linked to epilepsy.

I have this condition:

Randy - SO weird you have this!!! A member of my "family" has Dups. I had never heard of it before her. She's had many, many surgeries. Her case is really severe and has spread really quickly over the past 2 years. It's a bizarre disease. How is your fingers holding up? Any new spots?
