Dupuytrens Contracture?

[CalNaughtonJnr]

Apparently also known as the Vikings Disease - are there any sufferers on here? how does it affect you?

I have been regularly lifting weights now for around 18 months and have recently noticed a lump in the palm of my hand which I believe to be the start of Dupuytrens (I understand that collagen builds up around the tendons which eventually causes the ring and little fingers to bend in towards the palm) - some internetting suggests that it is quite common among gym people and there seems to be a fair few on here?
