That doesn't sound exactly like what happened to my hand, though the

symptoms were similar. I don't have any thinckening of the skin, or

any nodules in my hands. What made my hand curl up was strictly

inside the tendon sheathes. When the inflamation was reduced, they

released again.

I had something similar years ago when I had an infectious teno-

synovitis after a cat bite. In that case, of course, it was

infection that caused the inflamation, but again, my hadn curled

into a ball and got " stuck " there. In that case, even when the

infection was gone, I had enough adhesions in the tendon sheathes

that I needed OT to pull things apart again. (the infection went all

the way from my hand to my elbow)
